Hi Steve,
The code below will transpose your grouped data to columns B:E. You can then manually delete column A, to shift all data to the left. Or you can remove the apostrophe in front of code line 11 to let the code remove it for you.
Here is the code:
Hopefully this will get you excited again!
Best regards,

Here is the code:
Sub RunMe()
Dim x, y As Integer
x = 1
y = 1
Do
Range(Cells(x, "A"), Cells(x + 3, "A")).Copy
Range("B" & y).PasteSpecial Transpose:=True
x = x + 5
y = y + 1
Loop Until Cells(x, "A") = vbNullString
'Columns("A").Delete
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Hopefully this will get you excited again!

WOW! I am sure I would not have known how to do this, so thank you very much for your quick response. I will try it tonight and report back....
I'll assume rhetorically, that I should create a macro and paste this code into it? If I get stuck, I'll ask another question.
Thanks!

In case you get stuck on that:
How to implement and run a code:
- From Excel hit Alt + F11 to open the “Microsoft Visual Basic” window.
- Go to the top menu in the newly opened window > Insert > Module.
- Paste the code in the big white field.
- You can now close this window.
- Back at Excel, hit Alt + F8 to display the available macro’s.
- Double-click the macro you wish to run.
NOTE: macro’s cannot be reversed using the blue arrows. Always make sure you save your file (or create a back up to be entirely sure) before running a code, so you can re-open your file if something unforeseen happens or you want to go back to the situation before the code was run.

I opened the existing macro that I had created to run four manual loops and overwrote that code with your macro. It worked perfectly!!!! (Of course you knew that! :-)
Thank you so much, I couldn't have figured this out without your help...and I'm somewhat of an Excel guru...just not a macro guru!

And be careful, before you know it you are sucked into the world of macro's!!! ;)
