Default How to convert data from Landscape to vertical

Assume your data in column A to column E, and headers in row 1

Conversion format:
Headers in G1:I1 (hold Store, reponsed, and Question)

In G2: =OFFSET($A$2,INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/4),0)
In H2: =OFFSET($B$2,INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/4),MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,4))
In I2: =OFFSET($B$1,,MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,4))
select G2:I2 and copy down as far as needed
