for about a thousand rows; and preferably not a macro.

Pretty sure this must be a common problem, but couldn't find it here. I thought it was in one of Bill's videos but again couldn't find it.

Thanks :)
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
The above either doesn't do it, or I can't get my head around it. I have been able to get a helper column in place so that the data then looks like (so 3 columns)

A d 1
B e 1
C f 1
A g 2
B h 2
C i 2
A j 3
B k 3
C l 3

etc etc

and I still want the output to be in 3 columns - helper column shown but not needed

A B C Helper
d e f 1
g h i 2
j k l 3

It's driving me crazy
