Invert a column of data.
I have a sheet 24 columns by 5000 rows.
I need to invert all of the data. Transpose turns all data 90 degree, then will turn it back to original layout. I can do it one cell at a time.. ie in AA1 =A5000 etc. Is there a way to do this all at once, or even 1 column at a time? Thanks for your help. Mike |
Invert a column of data.
As you have less than 26 columns, you can do it with one formula. Put
this in AA1: =INDIRECT(CHAR(64+COLUMN(A1))&5001-ROW(A1)) The 5001 is one more than the number of rows that you have - adjust to suit your exact requirements. Then you can copy this across into AB1:AX1, and then you can copy AA1:AX1 down to the bottom of your data. Once done, you can fix the values in that formula. Another way would be to fill a simple sequence 1, 2, 3 etc down a helper column, eg column Y. Then highlight all the data including the helper column and use Data | Sort with the helper column as the sort field and sort in descending order. You can remove the helper column when finished. Hope this helps. Pete On Aug 25, 2:20*pm, Mike 215 wrote: I have a sheet 24 columns by 5000 rows. I need to invert all of the data.

why not just do copy, paste special/transpose?
