Default 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 Inv Loc Date 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 Inv Loc Date 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

I have been fooling with some If statements with ActiveCell locations but I
keep getting stuck and can't work through it. Any suggestions? My approach is
too simple I think. I was going to insert a row paste the serial number in
the blank row and then data fill the rest in....... Need Help Please
