How To Copy And Paste Data In Excel From Vertical To Horizontal and Vice Versa
Posted in Tips, Hacks, Tricks on Jul 26, 2008
Let’s say you have data in Excel that is currently laid out vertically:
1.2
2.3
3.4
5.6
and you want to change it to be laid out horizontally as such:
1.2, 2.3, 3.4, 5.6
You can do so by:
1. Copy (CTRL+C) the original data.
2. Select a cell where you want your new data to be inserted to.
3. Select the edit menu > Paste Special and check the Transpose tickbox. If you fancy shortcut combination keys, you can get there with ALT+E, S, ALT+E.
4. Voila, your new data will be pasted and transposed from vertical to horizontal.
The same steps apply when you are trying to copy data laid out horizontally to be shown vertically.




































Hi,
How do you copy and paste date from vertical to horizontal but link it so that when you update a cell it changes the corresponding cell in the revised format?
