I have some data that was delivered to us in a tabular format, BUT it is all in one column. Each group consists of an item number (whole number), next row is date/time, next row is text, next row is a blank row. There is ALWAYS a blank row/cell between groups. I'd like to transpose each "group", so that the item number is in a column, the date/time is in a column and the text is in a column. The file is large so doing it manually is not a good option.

Does anyone have a method for accomplishing this task?

Thanks in advance.
