Changing a column to a row
 
I have a table of census information broken down by neighborhood. I need to
transfer the data so that the neighborhood column becomes a neighborhood row
and the census row becomes a column. For example, I have something like the
following now

Neighborhood Population Households
Hunters Point 2,500 857
Traverse 6,700 2500

And I need something like this:

Hunters Point Traverse
Population 2,500 6,700
Households 857 2,500

I have been trying to do this with a pivottable, but it keeps summing
things, and I could do it by hand, but the time constraints on this are not
feasible due to the amount of data that I have. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
