Question description:

I have 4 columns of data, with each row showing one set of data. Then another 4 columns of the same type of data, but for the next month, then another 4 for the following month, etc. It is organized like this so it can be pulled into another sheet. However, I want to analyze this data for the whole year, with pivot tables (also charts, etc), but if I make a pivot table of this data, it makes the columns with the same title another group (month, month2, month3...). I am come the data from each month onto another sheet, so that it is all in just 4 columns. Could you help with this

So if this were the full set of data, sheet2 would read the first row for jan, put it in row 2 of sheet2, put row 3 in row 3 of sheet2, then when it gets to the end of january, put the first entry for february in row 4 of sheet 2
User

Then it would go through february, and when there are no more entries for february, march, and so one
User

So that Sheet2 is one continuous list with all of the entries for each month
