Hi barb,

Just to tell you that I found a solution. It was so easy.... I am quite
shameful ;)

Just have to select the table (only the data below the diagonal are
entered in that table. The upper part is empty). Then, copy and paste
the transposed table in another sheet. Eventually, copy the transposed
table WITHOUT blank cells (option in paste special) on the original
table.

I am so happy it works....

Regards,

Michael

Did you try TRANSPOSE with what would be the whole 75x75 array?

that do?

Thank you for your reply Barb,

The problem with TRANSPOSE is that it is problematic to apply
within a
triangular dataset.

E.g.:

0
2 0
3 2 0
1 5 3 0

If I have to recover the upper part of the matrix (above the 0s), I
will
have to paste the function in each cell... I think I need something
in
VBA. Maybe someone as already been faced with this problem ?

Excel Help to find out more about the TRANSPOSE function.

hi,

I have to use a matrix that come from SPSS. I get a 75x75
symetric
matrix of distances between points (75 points). Zero are in the
diagonal. Only the lower part of the diagonal is diplayed. I
exported
this matrix in Excel.

I am trying to recreate the full matrix (I need this for special
calculus). Is there a way to automate this (I would like to avoid

copy-past transpose, in order to avoid errors) ?

Point X12 should have the same value of X21, same applies for X13
and
X31, etc.

Any idea ? Thks,

Michael
