I have the following data and need a formula or script that will transpose at each change in location. I have several thousand cells in column A to search through. My data is not consistently every 5th cell. (Locations= 001, 002, 003 etc.)

Before:

M-G-001-A
M-G-001-B
M-G-001-C
M-G-001-D
M-G-002-A
M-G-002-B
M-G-002-C
M-G-002-D
M-G-003-A
M-G-003-B
M-G-003-C
M-G-003-D

After:

M-G-001-A
M-G-001-BM-G-001-CM-G-001-D
M-G-002-AM-G-002-BM-G-002-CM-G-002-D
M-G-003-AM-G-003-BM-G-003-CM-G-003-D
