Excel: Transpose Rows To Columns OR Columns To Rows
Have you ever set up a worksheet using one structure that seems to make sense, only to realize it would make a whole lot more sense if the rows were columns and the columns were rows. Microsoft makes it easy with the Transpose option to facilitate the necessary flipping of data from Rows to Columns OR from Columns to Rows, and this is how we do it:
- Select the range of cells you want to transpose and click Copy or press [Ctrl]C.
- Click in a new location (not overlapping your selection).
- Go to Edit | Paste Special and select the Transpose check box. In Excel 2007, click Paste in the Clipboard group of the Home tab and select Transpose.
- You can then delete your original, wrong-structured data.
- Printer-friendly version
