I have a matrix-style table in excel where B1:Z1 are column headings and A2:A99 are row headings. I would like to convert this table to a 3 column table (column heading, row heading, cell value). It does not matter in what order the new table is.

    A   B   C   D            A   B   C            A   B   C   
 1      H1  H2  H3        1  H1  R1  V1        1  H1  R1  V1
 2   R1 V1  V2  V3   =>   2  H1  R2  V4   or   2  H2  R1  V2
 3   R2 V4  V5  V6        3  H1  R3  V7        3  H3  R1  V3
 4   R3 V7  V8  V9        4  H2  R1  V2        4  H1  R2  V4
                          5  H2  R2  V5        5  H2  R2  V5
                          6  H2  R3  V8        6  H3  R2  V6
                          7  H3  R1  V3        7  H1  R3  V7
                          8  H3  R2  V6        8  H2  R3  V8
                          9  H3  R3  V9        9  H3  R3  V8

I've been playing around with the OFFSET function to create the whole table but I feel like a combination of TRANSPOSE and V/HLOOKUP is required.

Thanks
