how can I paste 10 cells but inverting the position of the cells
 

I'd like to copy 10 cells and paste them inverted, last cell first and first
cell last, not transpose, but vertically. Like fliping the 10 cells.

If you're planning to do this multiple times and it will always be 10 cells,
you could record a macro for it.

Sometimes it will be more than ten. Is there a way to do this without using
macros?

If you have a nearby spare column with numbers 1 to 10 (or any other
sequence of increasing numbers) down that column in the same rows as
your 10 cells you are wanting to copy then invert, you could invert
them before copying, then paste the inverted copy. To invert before
copy just select a range of cells includes your 10 cells for inversion
and the cells with increasing numbers, then sort by the increasing
numbers column in decreasing order. Then do the copy/paste, then resort
ascending order to restore the original data's order.

A macro might be the simplest way.

If you want to try:

Option Explicit
Sub testme03()
Dim FromRng As Range
Dim DestCell As Range
Dim iRow As Long
Dim TotalCells As Long

Set FromRng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set FromRng = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Select a single column range", Type:=8) _
.Areas(1).Columns(1)
On Error GoTo 0

If FromRng Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If

Set DestCell = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set DestCell = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Select a single cell", Type:=8).Cells(1)
On Error GoTo 0

TotalCells = FromRng.Cells.Count
For iRow = 1 To TotalCells
DestCell.Offset(iRow - 1, 0).Value _
= FromRng.Cells(TotalCells + 1 - iRow).Value
Next iRow

End Sub

Hi Ken,

That is a very simple and brilliant idea. I can't believe I didn't think of
it before.
Thank you very much!

Hi Copy and Paste,

Thanks for those kind words.
I'll pass them on to my superiors:-)
