    Organizing Information

    I'm sure this is easy. I can do this all day in Access, but my boss wants this done in Excel for some reason.

    I have 2 columns of information. The first column is the identifier, and the second column is a list a data points, both are pulled from an SQL-ODBCR, and I can not import it any other way. Example;

    SEE Sheet 1
    Example.xls

    In the full version it ends up being 250 different agencies, each with about 50 data points, and 30 data types each. I need to compile this data to each Agency in a seperate column with the data points below it. I have to do this for about 30 different reports. So doing it manually will take weeks. I need it to look like this, Example;


    SEE Sheet 2
    Example.xls


    And so on and so forth.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am completely lost. If you need more information, I can clarify.

    Thanks in advance.

    Use a helper column and pivot it.
    Example (1).xls

    If you are familiar with macro(Code), I can write one for you, but you should be familiar with how to run a code.
