    Hi everyone, I am doing some research for a professor and I ran into the following problem,
    The current data is arranged like this:

    (all the columns had headings, but pasting it in messed it up)

    10101 Acosta, Raymond L.

    2000 1 1 3 0 0 0.200
    2001 4 0 0 0 0 4/4
    2002 2 0 0 0 0 2/2
    2003 2 1 0 1 1 0.400
    2004 4 0 0 1 1 4/6
    2005 7 2 0 0 0 0.778
    2006 6 0 0 0 0 6/6
    2007 3 1 0 0 0 3/4
    2008 3 0 0 0 0 3/3
    2009 0 0 0 0 0 0.000
    Total 32 5 3 2 2 32/44

    10195 Barbadoro, Paul J.

    2000 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7/7
    2001 8 1 1 3 0 0 0 0 8/13
    2002 7 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 7/8
    2003 17 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 17/19
    2004 11 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 11/12
    2005 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 12/13
    2006 16 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 16/17
    2007 6 2 0 0 0 1 1 1 6/11
    2008 7 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 7/9
    2009 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3/4
    Total 94 5 5 5 1 1 1 1 94/113


    Basically, I need the name at the top to be pasted into a column a new column, so that each row corresponds to a name:


    Acosta, Raymond L. 2000 1 1 3 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2001 4 0 0 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2002 2 0 0 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2003 2 1 0 1 1
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2004 4 0 0 1 1
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2005 7 2 0 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2006 6 0 0 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2007 3 1 0 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2008 3 0 0 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. 2009 0 0 0 0 0
    Acosta, Raymond L. Total 32 5 3 2 2

    Basically, the person who compiled this data messed up, and put the name on a cell above all the data (trying to make it look good, I guess), instead of associating the name with the data. The problem is that the spreadsheet contains hundreds of these little "tables" that I need to compile into one huge spreadsheet, with the names arranged as such.

    I did a search in the forums, but I was not exactly sure how to phrase the problem, so sorry if this is a re-post....thank you for any help!

    EDIT: per davesexcel's suggestion, I have attached a spreadsheet with sample data. Sheet 1 is the data as it current exists, Sheet 2 is a sample of how I want the data to look... Please help! Thanks guys!
