    Cool Excel Rookie - Duplicate Columns and rows with headings

    Hi All,

    I have a rather simple task i'm trying to complete, however i am a total rookie when it comes to excel, that or this task is not possible with excel.

    I have attached two files:

    One file called "original file"

    This file has many "Custom ID"'s in one column relating to one food type, one of the rows in the sheet called "Description" has a number or descriptions i would like to use as headings.

    In the file called finished work i have manually set it out how i would like it with the Custom ID shown only once and the descriptions shown as the heading now.

    i have about 3000 lines to fix so i assume there would be a script i could run, can anyone let me know if its possible to complete this using excel?

    thanks for helping in advanced.

    Regards.

    I just did it with a pivot table in a few minutes but some of the totals I get don't match your source data. Did you use real numbers in your answer table or was that just to show layout only?
