Trying to change an Excel file to be database friendly
 
I have a file that is stored in a column type fashion, when I transpose the
the worksheet so it will be more database friendly, rows, I end up with
multiple serial numbers in columns to the right rather than down. Example

This is what I have now:

Part Nbr Part Desc Inventory Location Date of Inventory Serial Nbr
12345 XYZ New York 03/12/08 543 709 2889 2803 555
4321 ZZZ New York 03/12/08 123 321 456 654


This is what I want:
Part Nbr Part Desc Inventory
Location Date of Inventory Serial Nbr
12345 XYZ New York 03/12/08 543
12345 XYZ New York 03/12/08 709
12345 XYZ New York 03/12/08 2889
12345 XYZ New York 03/12/08 2803
12345 XYZ New York 03/12/08 555
12345 XYZ New York 03/12/08 2884
4321 ZZZ New York 03/12/08 123
4321 ZZZ New York 03/12/08 321
4321 ZZZ New York 03/12/08 456
4321 ZZZ New York 03/12/08 654
4321 ZZZ New York 03/12/08 789
4321 ZZZ New York 03/12/08 987
