Default How to reverse order of rows and columns

September 10, 2005

Hello, all,

I've made a big boo-boo in an Excel 2000 spreadsheet, and I can't figure
out how to fix it. Can you help?

I've created a table with 28 rows and 28 columns, and I've painstakingly
typed data into many of the resulting 784 cells. Only now do I realize
that the order of the columns is reversed, i.e., what was ABCD needs to
be DCBA. Same with the 28 rows, which have slightly different names.

You can see the table as it is now by opening or downloading it from
http://barelybad.com/eraseme_excel_test01.xls.

As you can see, the columns run from Noland to Ridgeview, and I'd like
them to run from Ridgeview to Noland. Again, same with the rows.

My question is how to accomplish a one-time re-ordering of the columns
and the rows while, of course, keeping the data where they belong. Is
there a way to do this?

Thanks for any help you can offer, and the more detailed the better,
because I'm not all that familiar with Excel.
