Transpose and Paste Link
 

I would like to be able to copy a block of cells, and in paste special I need
to be able to transpose and paste link. When I check transpose, I cannot
click paste link. I know a pivot table will do this. Is there an easier way?

Transpose and Paste Link
 

Hi,

You can use a formula approach:

=OFFSET($D$3,COLUMN(A1),0)

a second way is to use a formula like:

=TRANSPOSE(D1:D16)

In this case you select the range say M1:AH1, type the formula and press
Shift+Ctrl+Enter. The array formula will do the job nicely. These
techniques can be used with 3-D ranges.

Assume that you want to copy column D's data to the right and maintain a
formula. In this example, I am only dealing with one column and the first
cell D1 contain a title which I am not transposing, although you could.

Transpose and Paste Link
 

I cheat.

I select the range to copy
edit|copy
and paste special|links to an unused area

Then I change those formulas to strings:
Select that pasted range
edit|replace
what: = (equal sign)
with: $$$$$=
replace all

Then I can copy and paste|special transpose
Then fix this newly pasted area
Select the range
edit|Replace
what: $$$$$=
with: =
replace all

And then delete that intermediate pasted range.
