    Converting data in matrix form into a vector

    I want to calculate the average of the top 20% for each category. I think I found a formula to do this but the data is in the wrong format for this.
    Data looks somehow like this.
    Blue 1 10 Tall
    Red 2 15 Tall
    Blue 1 20 Small

    And I would like it look like
    Blue 10 Tall
    Red 15 Tall
    Red 15 Tall
    Blue 20 Small

    Basically, the second column shows the number of times in which for example the value is blue, 10 and tall.
    Is there any way to change the data?

    Thanks
