Converting a table to Data File

I have been looking for this for so long.....

Thank you Mr. John Walkenbach


Here is a nifty Macro in Excel to do that!!!
Sub ReversePivotTable()
' Before running this, make sure you have a summary table with column headers.
' The output table will have three columns.
Dim SummaryTable As Range, OutputRange As Range
Dim OutRow As Long
Dim r As Long, c As Long
On Error Resume Next
Set SummaryTable = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion
If SummaryTable.Count = 1 Or SummaryTable.Rows.Count < 3 Then
MsgBox "Select a cell within the summary table.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
SummaryTable.Select
Set OutputRange = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select a cell for the 3-column output", Type:=8) '
Convert the range OutRow = 2 Application.ScreenUpdating = False
OutputRange.Range("A1:C3") = Array("Column1", "Column2", "Column3")
For r = 2 To SummaryTable.Rows.Count
For c = 2 To SummaryTable.Columns.Count
OutputRange.Cells(OutRow, 1) = SummaryTable.Cells(r, 1)
OutputRange.Cells(OutRow, 2) = SummaryTable.Cells(1, c)
OutputRange.Cells(OutRow, 3) = SummaryTable.Cells(r, c)
OutputRange.Cells(OutRow, 3).NumberFormat = SummaryTable.Cells(r, c).NumberFormat
OutRow = OutRow + 1
Next c
Next r
End Sub
