When I special paste and transpose....
When I select my row, copy, special paste, and transpose a message that reads:
The information cannot be pasted because the Copy area and the paste area are not the same size and shape. Try one of the following: Click a single cell, and then paste Select a rectangle that's the same size and shape, and then paste I have no idea what this means. Any help out there? Thanks |

Before you paste, you should select where to paste. The easiest approach
will be to select a single cell (that is, click in a single cell which will be the first into which the data is pasted). You should also select it such that, when pasting the transposed row, it will not cross the original source region. Ex: you've selected row 1 and hit edit copy. Now click in cell A2 and THEN paste special, transpose.

Have you tried selecting a single cell and pasting as the message suggests?
Select the row1 header which selects the entire row. Select cell A2 and paste specialtranspose.

I was able to transpose one item, but when I tried to transpose more than one
the same message came up. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks for the help. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Have you tried selecting a single cell and pasting as the message suggests?

I'm not sure either.
What are you selecting? Give row number or address of range. Where are you trying to paste special that selection? I have no problem when using the steps I gave at first posting.
