Default Transpose data from columns to rows

Try a pivot table, it only takes a couple of clicks, drag n drops to get the
transformations/analysis that you seek

In your data sheet,
Insert a new top row, then enter these (example) col headers in A1:D1
Mth, ID, Prod, Qty

Note: The "dates" in A2 down, eg: Jul-07, Aug-07, Sep-07, etc
are assumed 1st-of-month real dates

Select any cell within the table, click Data PivotTable ...
Click Next Next

In step 3 of the wizard, click Layout:
Drag n drop Mth into the COLUMN area
Drag n drop ID into the ROW area
Drag n drop Qty into the DATA area
(it'll appear as Sum of Qty)
Click OK Finish. That's it

Hop over to the pivot sheet (just to the left) for the results

(Need Feb 08 as well but wouldn't fit in this message)

Thank you
