Multiple rows of data to columns

IH
5 - Atom

Hi, I've tried searching with no luck, 

 

I have an awful looking set of data which looks something like the left where sets of data repeat every three lines.

I've got to the point where I have an index column that repeats itself with Record ID and a formula which uses Mod([RecordID]-1,3)=1.

However I can't wrap my head around how to use this repeating index of 1-3 to spread out horizontally from the current data.

 

The actual data has repeating sets of data which stretch 16 columns and 3 rows.

 

Thank you in advance and happy new year everyone.
