hi,
you wont have to reformat.
the import/export driver will do that. and i am pretty
sure that oracle has the driver for excel built it.

I have a very large spreadsheet. The first 2 columns are
a description, and
the next 52 columns are a value for a week of the year.

Is there a way in Excel to transform these into a format
that is loadable
into a relational database such as Oracle?

For example, I'd like to change the following into the
latter format. The
first column would be a derived week number. That first
column is something
I could live without if I had to.

Any suggestions for a simple macro would be appreciated.
