Pivot date, that's all
Dude, thank you so much. The whole time I was writing my macro, I was
thinking "I know there is a function for this", but my search for pivoting
brought me only to information about making pivot tables for aggregation and
stuff. Anyhow, it was mostly an exercise for me, since I am still learning.
I think I'll continue to do it my way, just for the feeling of
accomplishment, or maybe try to incorportate what ryguy7272 has suggested.
Anyhow, thanks so much for the quick reply, and the tip on a very useful
function.

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.
