So your database will only have 9 entries - fair enough
Just all seems odd manipulation of data for end result.

But saving as a .csv file, which I tried, just seemed to produce a file

wordpad and get my data in a column without cells, copy it all and paste
special it as unformatted text. But that's what I did anyway, using word.

I need the data in nine cells because it's used to generate a table in a
sql
database where a website will check a custoemrs postcode and, depending
on
which column the postcode occurs in, it can apply a shipping charge
appropriate for listed quantity ordered.
