Modify database
Good night !
I wonder if someone can help me or to tell me how to do this operation - I have a database in excl where the basic product definition and its features can be found in column A and the different products in stock can be found in the following columns. - The database is reasonably big (80 rows corresponding to the different features describing the product and 70 columns corresponding to the products in stock - I would like to modify the database (without new data entry !) in a way where the information is presented the other way around i.e. each row corresponds to one product and each immediate following cell on the right contains one of the product features. I hope I managed to make myself clear. I was hoping to get the help of some excel expert in the group . I only know the basic functions ! Many thanks JS |

Joao, Insert a new worksheet in your workbook. Go back to your intially
sheet and select all your data. You can do this, by selecting any cell in the used range and hold down Ctrl and tapping * (multiply key) on the numeric keyboard. Then hit Ctrl+C, select A1 on inserted sheet and go to the Edit/PasteSpecial menu and check transpose. Hit OK and yo have what you are looking for.
