Default Column to row

I have a list of food items in Column A. I want to convert these so that they
become entries in Row 1 instead. Can anyone advise how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Select the data then

edit|Copy

then select a cell in row 1 outside the data range you just copied

Edit|Paste Special - select transpose

OK

Hi,

Here is another approach if you want to retain the items in column A and if
they change have the entries on row 1 change.

Suppose your data is in A1:A5 then select B1:F1 and type, but don't enter
the formula =TRANSPOSE(A1:A5) Then press Shift+Ctrl+Enter.

Hi again,

Here are two non-array formulas that also work:

=INDEX($A1:$A5,COLUMN(A1))

=OFFSET($A1,COLUMN(A1)-1,)
