Excel Columns to Rows with a hitch

Copper Contributor

I have Sales Order Numbers in column A.  In column B are names of multiple people who work on the sales order and in column C are roles of the people who are listed in column B.  I need help to find a way by order number to move the names and roles of the people in columns B and C to a row with the sales order number still in column A.   Please see example below.  If there are any formulas or other techniques that you could suggest, that would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a macro that you can run:

 

Sub Transform()
    Dim w1 As Worksheet
    Dim w2 As Worksheet
    Dim s As Long
    Dim m As Long
    Dim t As Long
    Dim c As Long
    Dim n As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set w1 = ActiveSheet
    Set w2 = Worksheets.Add(After:=w1)
    w2.Cells(1, 1).Value = "Order #"
    t = 1
    m = w1.Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown).Row
    For s = 2 To m
        If w1.Cells(s, 1).Value <> w1.Cells(s - 1, 1).Value Then
            t = t + 1
            w2.Cells(t, 1).Value = w1.Cells(s, 1).Value
            c = 0
        End If
        c = c + 2
        If c > n Then n = c
        w2.Cells(t, c).Value = w1.Cells(s, 2).Value
        w2.Cells(t, c + 1).Value = w1.Cells(s, 3).Value
    Next s
    For c = 2 To n Step 2
        w2.Cells(1, c).Value = "Resource Assigned #" & c / 2
        w2.Cells(1, c + 1).Value = "Resource #" & c / 2 & " Role"
    Next c
    w2.UsedRange.EntireColumn.AutoFit
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
