Questions:
I’m trying to rearrange a large data set and am thinking VBA is the best, most effective method to do this.
I have a data set similar to this structure:
and with this data, I’m trying to get this output:
Has anyone written anything to do this sort of thing? I’d be most grateful for any suggestions or advise on where to go with this.
Many thanks,

Adjust the values in the constants section to fit your needs.

ID is not gonna happen because, like Ted in the previous version, it is nowhere to be found.

Answer：
You could just loop through the names, and output them in a column.
Something like the following maybe:
Option Explicit
Sub sort()
Dim rArea As Range, lRow As Long, oCN As Long, outCol As String, cell As Range
'Set this to the range of names
Set rArea = ActiveSheet.Range("C2:G4")
'Set this to output
outCol = "J"
oCN = Columns(outCol).Column
For Each cell In rArea
lRow = ActiveSheet.Range(outCol & ActiveSheet.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row 'Update last row in output column
Cells(lRow + 1, oCN).Value = cell.Value 'Print Name
Cells(lRow + 1, oCN - 1).Value = Cells(cell.Row, 2).Value 'Print Company
Next cell
End Sub
I made some last minute changes for dynamics. But compare with the picture, and you should be able to figure out what I’m doing.
I don’t see the point to adding the other rows with a macro, but you can do that as well obviously.
