One way

In Sheet1
-------------
In A1 down is the source col:

Number
1
2
3
etc

In Sheet2
-------------
Assume you want it to be extracted from Sheet1 and placed as:

In A1: Number: 1
<skip 2 cols
In D1: Number: 2
<skip 2 cols
In G1:Number: 3
etc

Put in A1:
=IF(MOD(COLUMN(A1),3)<1,"",Sheet1!$A$1&":
"&OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,INT((COLUMN(A1)+2)/3),))
Copy across

How can I transpose data from a spreadsheet where the data is presented in
contiguous columns to another sheet where the data needs to be presented
in
non contiguous rows? For example conisder a table column heading "Number"
data 1,2,3,4 filling down. This has to be presented on another sheet as,
"Number:" 1, several blanks accross, "Number: 2", several blanks accross,
"Number: 3" etc. I have to take the data from a spread sheet and present
it
in a form. Is there a function to do this so I don't have to type it all
out
again?

Thanks
