Default Using a Macro to Reorder Data - tough one

Kesey,
I'm no expert at pivot tables, but I managed to get the desired results *
quickly.
It probably helps to format the startDate column as data (mmmm) to get month
names.
Then follow the pivot table wizard.

* I assume there are a couple of errors in you desired results for 2006/45.
Otherwise I do not understand your requirements.

Having a tough time with this one. I get data from an SQL query in one
format, and I need the data sorted differently for use in excel. I end
up taking the raw data and I manually reorder it to suit my needs. I
have some VBA experience and can follow/modify code, I'm just not sure
where to start on this one.

Here's my question. I have the data in tab1 and I need it in the
format that is shown on tab2. (See attachment)

I've tried using a pivot table and that got me really close, but it was
a little cumbersome. I'm thinking I should be able to read the data
into an array and then loop through it to spit it out in the format I
want it in, but I'm not sure where to start. I am not the end user, so
I want the user to just be able to run the macro and not have to do any
other manipulation (that's where the pivot table failed).

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
