Newbie: Copying row of values to a column
I have a row of cells with brand names. I want to copy the contents of
the row of cells to a column on another sheet. How can I achieve this so that whenever I change a cell value on the row I also modify the value of the cells in the column in question? I was shown how to do this once, a long time ago, but I have forgotten. I think it involved the Vlookup function but I am not positive about it. Thanks...Carlos |

Newbie: Copying row of values to a column
In EXCEL 2007 take the following action:-
1. Enter the following information in cells G9 to G12 (of Sheet1):- Persil Tesco Woolworths Coca Cola These are the brand names to which you refer. You can enter this information in any cells you like but I have chosen those mentioned above. 2. Highlight the range of cells into which you have entered the information (I chose cells G9 to G12). 3. Do a Ctrl-C to copy the data. 4. Click on Sheet2. The cursor will default to cell A1. 5. Home / Paste / Paste Link. Cells A1 to A4 inclusive of Sheet2 will now contain the following data:- Persil Tesco Woolworths Coca Cola 6. Now whenever you change the information entered at number 1. above the data in Sheet2 will change automatically. Please hit Yes if my comments have helped. Thanks!

What about the inverse? I have a column of names and want to transpose it to a row? I tried the Index function with Columns() but I haven't figured out how this thing works yet. A bit more help would be appreciated. Thanks again...Carlos |

Newbie: Copying row of values to a column
I don't know how INDEX works for column to rows either<g
I use OFFSET or INDIRECT =OFFSET(Sheet1!$C$1,COLUMN(A1)-1,) entered in A1 of Sheet2 and copied across will pull column C from Sheet1. =INDIRECT("Sheet1!C"&COLUMN(A1)) same as OFFSET above.
