Hi

For every row with the value, fetch the table header.

I have the following table:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]x[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Desired Result:
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]B
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]C
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Thank you in advance.

Best,

Excel Facts

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
this should do it:
Code:
Sub test2()

inarr = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(5, 5))
Range(Cells(1, 10), Cells(30, 11)) = ""
outarr = Range(Cells(1, 10), Cells(30, 11))
indi = 1
For i = 2 To 5
 For j = 2 To 5
  If inarr(i, j) = "x" Then
  outarr(indi, 1) = inarr(i, 1)
  outarr(indi, 2) = inarr(1, j)
  indi = indi + 1
  End If
 Next j
Next i
Range(Cells(1, 10), Cells(30, 11)) = outarr


End Sub

 Next j
Next i

End Sub
Thank you. I suppose that the result can not be achieved by an Ecel formula only?

Very difficult because in your example the number of rows need for the "1" s is two rows, but if you add an x in then this becaomse 3 rows and every thing shifts down I can't see how you can do that with worksheet functions alone
