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.

Hi sandy666, I was going through my data and the code/query only worked for first 16k lines. I have about 64k cells that would need to be populated. Is there some limitation with this table query?
Thanks.
