Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

Ok. Here is what I did. Using Power Query which in your version is on the Data Tab and called Get and Transform. Highlighted table and brought into PQ. Once in PQ, highlighted first column and clicked on Unpivot --> Other columns. Filtered the Value Column to uncheck 0 values. Close and Loaded to Excel. Mcode below and file attached. Note: the highlighted table that is imported is called Table1 in my scenario. If you have named it something else, then you will use that name.
