Default Referencing a cell where lookup value is not on same row

As far as I know, I am afraid to say that Excel need to have flat database to
work on, meaning that the list should be fill up with values and there is no
blank column

Hi,

I need some help... Here is my data:
_____________________________________________
A B C D
1 ID Number Name Hours
2 10153 Joe 8
3 8
4 8
5 Total 24
6
7 10219 Bob 5
8 5
9 Total 10
10
11 10569 Tim 10
12 8
13 8
14 5
15 Total 31
___________________________________________

Basically, I want to copy the ID number, Name, and Total onto a separate
worksheet minimizing the need for manual data entry e.g.
10153 Joe 24
10569 Tim 31
etc.

Basically, I can copy the ID number onto the new worksheet and use a vlookup
to get the name. But I'm having difficultly referencing the Total since it's
not on the name row as the ID and Name. Any suggestions? Thanks!
