how do I transpose columns and rows
I have a spreadsheet as follows:
DonorId Date Amount 1 5/4/04 100 1 7/5 04 50 2 1/5/04 200 I'd like to change it to: DonorId Date Amount Date Amount 1 5/4/04 100 7/5/04 50 2 1/5/04 200 3 There are about 3,700 rows and the number of dtes per donor vary. Any ideas oon how I can do this? Thanks, jnix |
You could add a column to your table, to count the donation occurrence,
then use a pivot table to summarize the data. For example, in cell D1 enter the heading DonationNum In cell D2, enter the formula: =COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2) Copy the formula down to the last row of data. Select a cell in the table, and choose DataPivotTable and PivotChart Report Click Next, check the data range, click Next Click the Layout button Drag DonorID to the Row area Drag DonationNum to the column Area Drag Date and Amount to the Data area Click OK, click Finish Drag the Data button to the right, to arrange the data horizontally If necessary, drag the Donation button to the left of the Data button You may have to format the date columns. jnix wrote: I have a spreadsheet as follows: DonorId Date Amount 1 5/4/04 100 1 7/5 04 50 2 1/5/04 200 I'd like to change it to: DonorId Date Amount Date Amount 1 5/4/04 100 7/5/04 50 2 1/5/04 200 3 There are about 3,700 rows and the number of dtes per donor vary.

Thanks. It works pretty good until I get to the pivot table. The table just gives me columns headed by different counts and then has "1" in each column where there was something in the table.

That works great for the Amount row. How do I get the Date row to show date instead of count?

You'll have to format the Date column --
Move the pointer to the top of one of the Date columns When you see a thick black arrow, click, to select all the date columns Choose FormatCells On the Number tab, select one of the Date formats jnix wrote: Debra: That works great for the Amount row.
