    Converting Frequency Table into List

    I apologize if the title doesn't perfectly reflect what I am trying to do, as I'm not sure what to call it exactly. I am looking for a way to convert a frequency table back into data form.

    I.E.
    You have rankings from 1 to 4 and the frequency of each occurance

    Rank, Frequency
    1, 4
    2, 3
    3, 5
    4, 1

    I would like it to turn into the original data format (vector/list)
    1
    1
    1
    1
    2
    2
    2
    3
    3
    3
    3
    3
    4


    Thanks

    Thanks! This works perfectly. Can you explain the steps that "=IF(ROW(A1)>SUM($B$2:$B$200),"",INDEX($A$2:$A$200,LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$C$2:$C$200,ROW($A$1:$A$100))))" goes through just for future reference or if I need to adjust.
