    How to convert a table (10 names X 12 months = 120 values) into 120 separate rows.

    Hello,
    Apologies if this is naive but I'm trying to create a flatfile from a table. At the moment, I have a matrix 10 X12 (name by month) containing 120 values but I need a 1 X 120 matrix (or 3 X 120 allowing for name / month and value) to make the pivot table work. Any advice gratefully received. Thank you.

    If I understand you correctly, you have an 11 x 13 grid

    One row of 13 headings: Name, Jan, Feb....Dec
    One column of 10 names: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...Juliet
    and numbers at the intersections of months and names

    If that's true...try this:
    • Type these keys: ALT D P
    • Select: Multiple consolidation ranges....Click: Next
    • Check: I will create page fields.........Click: Next
    • Select the grid cells...Click: Add.......Click: Next...Click: Finish

    On the pivot table page:
    • Drag Row off the Row Labels section
    • Drag Column off the Column Labels section
    • Double-click the only number in the resulting pivot table.

    The end result will have this structure:

    • Rename ROW to Name
    • Rename COLUMN to Month

    Is that something you can work with?

    Ron,
    You are a genius. That is brilliant. Would never have found that in a million years. This forum really works. Thank you. I appreciate it.
