Difficult scenerio, move columns to a new line

I have to move items that are in a line, across columns, to be moved to their own line.  I have 3000 records to do this with.

 

Basically lets say you have a basket (column A1) in that basket is cheese, sausage, crackers and wine, (columns b1,c1,d1,e1) 

 

I need them to be 

a1 b1 c1 d1 e1

screen shot for reference

 

Anyone know if I can do this?

    Hello katphelan,

     

    It sounds like you are looking to transpose your array. Here is how to transpose data:

    1. Highlight A1:E1
    2. Copy (Ctrl + C)
    3. Select an empty cell that has four additional empty cells below it
    4. Paste (Ctrl + P) then press Ctrl then press T

    For this concrete sample you may use

    =TRANSPOSE(A1:E1)

    in A4, but I guess that's not what your are looking for. How other, if not 2999 but 9 records looks like?
