3) Step 2a of 3 - Select Option Button: I will create the page fields -- [Next]
4) Step 2b of 3 - With your cursor in the Range Textbox, select the data range on your sheet that you want to normalize -- [Add] -- [Next]
5) Step 3 of 3 - [Finish]
6) Drag the Row and Column buttons OFF the Layout -- [OK] -- [Finish]
7) Mysteriously, you are on another sheet that has a 4-cell pivot table. Double click the BOTTOM RIGHT CELL
8) Again, on another sheet -- This is you data normalized, or at least closer to it. You'll need to change headings at least.

By the way, my example had only one column, Acct, of "Row" data. If your instance has more than one column, you will need to concatenate the "Row" data, separated by a delimiter such as |, into a single column before starting this process. So this...

Acct01 A01A 234 123 567
Acct02 A02B 345 234 678

...would become this using the formula C1: =A1&"|"&B1...

The normalization process will not use the first two columns.
Then, when the proceed is completed, use the Data > Data tools > Text to columns feature to complete the table, returning Acct and Sub in this case to separate columns, naturally shifting the "Column" and "Value" columns to the right appropriately.
