123 Book A 20 30 40 50 60 70
234 Book B 10 20 40 60 30 50

That is basicaly the reverse of a pivot table. I would love to know. In MS
Access you could use a union query but I am stumped in excel.

To reorganize the data, you can use the "unpivot' technique described by
John Walkenbach:

Because you have two label columns, you should concatenate them, before
using the above technique. For example, insert a blank column after
Product Name, with a heading, and the formula:

=A2 & "$" & B2

After using the technique, use Data>Text to Columns, Delimited, to split
the data into separate columns.

Perhaps the transpose worksheet function (see Help) will work?

you can try this :

For trying this in MS Access, first one has to design create a similar
database (collection of tables) & then copy the data into the relevant table.
Its a time consuming process. I am looking for some solution in MS EXCEL.
