Create recurring lists from ranges
I would like to create a dynamic spreadsheet which grows as entries are added to a defined range.  For instance, I might have 2 ranges:

Day
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday

Person
Bob
Frank
Sue

I want to create a table like the following:

Person Day
Bob Monday
Bob Tuesday
Bob Wednesday
Bob Thursday
Bob Friday
Frank Monday
Frank Tuesday
Frank Wednesday
Frank Thursday
Frank Friday
Sue Monday
Sue Tuesday
Sue Wednesday
Sue Thursday
Sue Friday

If I add another person to this list by adding that person to the "Person" range, I want them automatically added 5 times with the days listed next to them.  I'm at a loss as to which functions I need to pull this off.

Thanks!
