Default Pivot date, that's all

Hi

Why not use Transpose.

Select the table, and copy it, select destination cell, goto Insert
PasteSpecial Transpose OK

Greetings all. *I have a frequent need to simply pivot a table, and that's
it. *I end up using the pivot table wizard, and then trying to copy and paste
the values I need, and it is a time consuming process. *All I really need is
to simply pivot it, turning the rows into columns, and visa versa. *I made a
simple macro to do the task, but in the interest of learning something new, I
would like to see if anyone else has a better way. *Take any table of data,
and highlight the cell between the row header and column header, and run it. *
It will produce a pivoted version of the table under the original table. *So,
for example, if your table column header is in row 1, and your row labels are
in column A, you would want to select A1, and run the macro. *Any ideas on a
better way? *Any reason why I should not use this? *Thanks in advance, if
anyone is so inclined to give some feedback.
