Default I need help stacking selected columns!

I have a dataset of unlimited rows and columns as such:

Tool Lot ALM1 ALM2 ALM3 ... ALM50
A1 ER123456 Err-2341 Warn-4511 Err-998 ... Err-234
A2 ER987654 Err-423 Err-421 Warn-982
A3 ED90800 ...
....

Not all tool/lot cominations have the same number of alarms, some will have
only 1 and others will have 50. Blanks in the ALMx columns can be ignored as
this means there were no more alarms.

I would like to maintain the Tool and Lot values while stacking the ALM
codes for each tool/lot comination as such:

Tool Lot ALM
A1 ER123456 Err-2341 (which is ALM1)
A1 ER123456 Warn-4511(which is ALM2)
A1 ER123456 Err-998 (which is ALM3)
....
A1 ER123456 Err-234 (which is ALM50)
A2 ER987654 Err-423 (whcih is ALM1)
A2 ER987654 Err-421 (which is ALM2)
....

I have found some macros to stack rows into columns, but I think it needs
additional steps to increment down row until hits a blank cell and also
copy/paste the tool and lot IDs in first two columns for each subsequent ALM
code.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
