    Excel Data Manipulation (Kinda like a Transpose)

    I need to convert a dataset from columns to rows, kinda like transpose but a little different.

    I need to change:

    cars 1
    cars 2
    cars 3
    book 5
    book 6
    book 7
    cat 2
    cat 3
    cat 4

    Into:

    cars 1 2 3
    book 5 6 7
    cat 2 3 4


    Anyone know how this can be done? Any help would be much appreciated

    just how automatic do you need it to be?

    the quickest solution i can think of, without resorting to vba, would be:
    (assuming your data starts in cell E5)

    for the category: =LEFT($E$5;FIND(" ";$E$5)-1)
    for the number: =RIGHT(OFFSET($E$5;COLUMN(A1)-1;0))
