    Smile Read cells - Transposed in reverse order!

    Can anyone give me a tip on how to read data from another sheet in transposed reverse order.
    Sheet 2 shows what I am trying to achieve.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    You could use a helper column B. Add '1' to B1 and '2' to B2. Drag B1:B2 down to create a numbered list 1-16.
    Now Sort columns A1:B16 using col. B as the key in descending order.
    Finally copy A1:A16 and Paste Transpose

    Regards

    Try this in "Sheet2" A1
    =IF(COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)+1-COLUMN(A$1)>0,INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)+1-COLUMN(A$1),1),"")
    Drag across until a blank cell is returned.

    [EDIT]
    Original formula was returning an extra value, now corrected.
