Hi folks,
Below is an excel table ColA has the Date, County, and Location concatenated; and ColB has the number of birds observed at that location.
I used Multiple Consolidation Range in excel to get to this point from tabular data format.

Question: Now, for the uniqueID in Row2 (42787_Bailey_a), there were 3 birds observed.
I need to find a way to spread the 3 out into 3 rows - as shown in the table below.
Is there a way to do it, other than manually spreading it out. I have about 3000 rows with varying values to spread out.

sandy666, that is what I want it to look like (Custom column will have just value 1, but as you said that can be replaced).
How did you get to that point. What steps did you take to get there.

You can do that with PowerQuery aka Get&Transform

so select your source table (range)
from Data tab choose From Table (or Get Data - From Table), check My Table Has Headers
it will open Power Query Editor
go to Advanced Editor
replace code there with code from the post#4
be sure the name of the source table is the same as in this line: Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="[B]Table7[/B]"]}[Content], (should be the same)
if not, change the name table in this line to your table name
then ok
Close&Load

my code is based on your example from the post#1
