Excel should provide an easy way to switch a column into a row, n.
A very useful feature for Excel would be the ability to easily switch a
column of data into a row. This would allow a column of entries to be used as a row of headers, for example. Excel already allows switching a column into a row in the charting area, but not in the spreadsheet. One can work around this by exporting the column into Word, changing the delimiter between fields from a paragraph mark (normally hidden) to a comma, then re-importing the data into Excel - which will then be as a row. This would also allow Access to import the former column into a row, which could then be a list of field names. |
Hi Samsson
just wondering why copying your column of data clicking where you want the row and choosing edit / paste special - transpose doesn't work for you? Cheers JulieD "samsson" wrote in message ...
