How could I use Index/Rows formula to combine multiple rows of data across columns?
Say I have data like this in range (a2:a5), but that's just for one employee
date
location
salary
manager name
and I want it like this : date
location
salary
manager name
in row 1, how would I utilize INDEX/ROW
formula to have it transpose like that if the range is fixed to 4 rows for every employee?
I have 1000's of emplyoees and need the data transposed easily and my only method now is creating a separate template and concatenating a unique key/ using an index match to pull in that data.

You can setup the formula as below
Formula in the cell D3 is =INDEX($B$3:$B$18,(ROW()-3)*4+D$2)
Formula in cell I3 is =INDEX($C$3:$C$18,(ROW()-3)*4)
In ROW()-3 i have used 3, but you have to use the row number where you will insert the formula.
Ok, separate question, what if the data export has an employee ID in column C, same ID number for all 4 rows until the next block of employee data. How would I have that populate in there as well? I just need it transposed into the columns

as in, what if the employee ID's need to be in each transposed row, but they're not lumped into the data that I need to transpose, they're in Column C instead. So I'll need to extract an employee ID and tack it on as well
