You need to use Tools | Add-in and install the Analysis Toolpac
If you do not see it in the list, go to help and search "Load the Analysis
Toolpak"
It will work when you have the ATP loaded

column?

Ie - Data in the following Colums (A,B,C) and the desired result in Column D:

A B C
1 2 F
3 P G
5 3 O

Desired result in Column D:

1 (A1)
2 (B1)
F (C1)
3 (A2)
P (B2)
G (C2)
5 (A3)
3 (B3)

Try this:

Entered in D1 and copied down as needed.

=OFFSET(A$1,INT((ROWS(D$1:D1)-1)/n),MOD(ROWS(D$1:D1)-1,n))

Where n = the number of columns you have. In your case n = 3

Hi Rob

One way
=INDEX(A:C,INT((ROW()-1)/3)+1,MOD(ROW()-1,3)+1)
