To reorganize the data, you can use the 'unpivot' technique described by

Before you start, change the Dept headings to numbers, or after you
unpivot you can use EditReplace to remove Dept from the Dept column.

I have a spreadsheet similar to this which shows access right for several
depts:

Account Dept 1 Dept 2 Dept 3 Dept 4
Salaries READ READ READ READ
Supplies WRITE READ WRITE WRITE
DEPREC READ READ READ READ

I want to end up with:

Account Dept Access
Salaries 1 READ
Salaries 2 READ
Salaries 3 READ
Salaries 4 READ
Supplies 1 WRITE
Supplies 1 READ
Supplies 1 WRITE
Supplies 1 WRITE
