Is this possible with Pivot Tables, or...
JCornelison Easiest done with Power Query (Windows only!)
Query the table (as in Current:)
Select the Name column
Right-click and select "Unpivot other columns"
Close and load back to Excel.

This is also the case with Excel, there are many ways to find a solution ... even tailor made.
In the inserted file you can see it with a very simple pivot as an example.
I also wish you a lot of fun with Excel.

NikolinoDE Thanks, but what I'm seeing from your pivot table doesn't match my "Desired" table. I want each column of hours to result in new rows, basically going from a wide/short table to a tall/narrow table.
I can sort of do this by putting all the columns (name + date 1 + date 2) into the Pivot Table's Rows box, and then adjusting the Field Settings to "No Subtotals" and "Show Item Labels in Tabular Form", and then copy & pasting values only into a new sheet. But the columns arent properly labelled, and I need to automate this as I've 7 days per sheet and and 52 Sheets (1 per week).
