Default can excel pivot text?

Is there anyway of pivoting text. I have 2 columns, a sample of which is
below:

Column 1 Column 2
ACID SHOP ETCH1
ACID SHOP ETCH3
ACID SHOP ETCH4
HAND FORGE HF31
HAND FORGE HF32
HAND FORGE HF5
14 PRESS 14PE
14 PRESS 14P
8 PRESS 8PH
8 PRESS 8PP
AREA 9 DRESSCO
AREA 9 DRESSTI
AREA 9 DRESSEN

From this I am wanting to have the following results:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 and so on
ACID SHOP HAND FORGE 14 PRESS
ETCH 1 HF31 14PE
ETCH 3 HF32 14P
ETCH 4 HF5

This is easy for numbers using pivot table but would like to use the same
princaple but for text? the spreadsheet is very large and I dont want to do
it manually.

The spreadshet is exported from Access, so if the is an easly way in access
please let me know.

Regards
Mark
