Malcolm,

Run the macro below, and when asked, answer 5...

But, the figures will actually go into column G: column F will be the header
values from the top row.

I have a Quickbooks report exported to Excel in the form of a multi-column
table. It takes the form of columns A to E being grouped nominal codes
and
columns F to X bening cost-centres. What I need to do is bring the
figures
into one vertical column. So there would be the nominal codes repeated
vertically for each cost-centre with all the figures in column F.

Is there an easy way to do this please without all the cutting and pasting
which could lead to terrible mistakes?

Thanks in advance.
