Auto Fill
 

I have a set of names which are listed in a single row in different columns.
Like Column A has one name and then column B has other name and so on upto
column CZ. All are liste on the same row. Say Row number 3. Now I want to
use these names as a reference in a different sheet of the same excel file.
But, I want the names to be listed vertically instead of them being
horizontally. In short, I want the names to be in different rows but in same
column.

How do I go about it?

Auto Fill
 

Copy, then Paste Special Transpose

The Transpose doesn't work because I am referencing the names from a
different spreadsheet. When I do Transpose the names show up as a " # REF "
and not the actual name.

I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

You could copy, paste Values on another sheet, then do the transpose, then
delete the extra unnecessary sheet

Ahh, then you don't want to copy, you want formulas which reference that
header row perpetually. With normal formulas pointing to Sheet1!A$3,
Sheet1!B$3, etc., auto-fill won't recognize the pattern, even after you've
entered the first 4 or 5.

A possible workaround without using a macro...
Name that list in row 3 (let's call it myList).
On Sheet2, use this formula in A1:
=INDEX(myList,1,ROW())
If you have to start in A3 because A1 and A2 have a title and some headers,
then:
=INDEX(myList,1,ROW()-2)
Now you can use your auto-fill handle.
