TRANSPOSE()
Friends,
I know how to copy / paste special / transpose, but I cannot get the TRANSPOSE() worksheet function to work. Let's say I have 1,2,3 in the horizontal array A1:C1. What, exactly, do I do to transpose the 1,2,3 into a vertical array in (A1:A5), using only the TRANSPOSE() worksheet function. I keep getting the #Value# error, so I must be missing something. Thanks for your help ... Bill Morgan |
Highlight A3:A5
Enter formula =Transpose(A1:C1) It is an array function so enter while holding down CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER "bill_morgan_3333" wrote in message ...

Paul has given you the steps, but there are 2 additional points.
The range containing the transposed data cannot overlap the source. You have data in A1. You can't put a the TRANSPOSE formula there without overwriting the 1st data point. Normally the two ranges should be the same size. Yours aren't. The source is 3 cells, the destination is 5 cells. If you put the formula in A1:A6, you'll see #NA in the 2 extra cells. If the destination range is smaller, you won't see all of the data. You could, however, put this formula in A2:A3 =TRANSPOSE(B1:C1) which will leave the data in A1 alone and put the data from the other two cells below it. Remember, as Paul said, this is an array formula.

Paul,
Thank you for that concise, logical instruction. It worked perfectly.

Myrna,
Thanks for the clarification. I meant to say "transpose to A3:A5", so that was a glitch on my part. Between your answer and Paul's I'm now clear on TRANSPOSE(). Thanks again ...
