    Create a table of unique options from another table

    I really apologise for the title however I was struggling to think how to better describe the problem (suggestions welcomed).

    I have attached a sample worksheet to illustrate I have a table of information where a number of columns show the options available.
    I need to extract from this the second layout which shows each option that applies on a separate row.

    Is the any way to do this without VBA?
    If not, I will repost in that section.

    Fingers crossed!

    I should have said that I would have deleted the original but note taken for the future
