    Transpose Problem

    Hello Excel Experts,

    I need to figure out a way to transpose several columns in 2 columns. The big hangup for me is the Address column (see link to Google sheet below. The value in the group in the Address column now only appears once, but it will need to be repeated in the desired layout.

    Link to Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

    I'm not sure about whether there is a function that can be worked out or if I need VBA.

    All feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Re: Transpose Problem

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? Some members are unable or unwilling to access file-sharing sites.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

    Re: Transpose Problem

    Is there a way for this to be done with a pivot table?

    Re: Transpose Problem

    For Address
    =IFERROR(INDEX($A$5:$A$29,INT(SMALL(IF($B$5:$I$29<>"",(ROW($B$5:$I$29)-ROW($B$5)+1)*10^5+COLUMN($B$5:$I$29)-COLUMN($B$5)+1),ROWS($A$1:A1))/10^5)),"")

    For COlumn
    =IFERROR(INDEX($B$5:$I$29,SMALL(IF(($A$5:$A$29=$A34)*($B$5:$I$29<>""),MATCH(ROW($B$5:$I$29),ROW($B$5:$I$29)),""),COUNTIF($A$34:A34,A34)),1*(SMALL(IF(($A$5:$A$29=$A34)*($B$5:$I$29<>""),MATCH(ROW($B$5:$I$29),ROW($B$5:$I$29))+1*MATCH(COLUMN($B$5:$I$29),COLUMN($B$5:$I$29)),""),COUNTIF($A$34:A34,A34))-SMALL(IF(($A$5:$A$29=$A34)*($B$5:$I$29<>""),MATCH(ROW($B$5:$I$29),ROW($B$5:$I$29)),""),COUNTIF($A$34:A34,A34)))),"")

    all is array formula

    Re: Transpose Problem

    Hi Newbie,

    Power Query, which is built into Excel 2016 takes no code and can*do this problem in about 10 mouse clicks and no VBA.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Hi protonLeah,

    This is outstanding work! THANK YOU.

    I've tested the macro on 5 different data sets and it worked perfectly for 4 othem. I think the problem with the 5th one is the Xpath (data scraping) got jacked up, and it's not a problem with the macro.

    Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

    Please share, MarvinP. I only understand the very basics of Power Query.

    Re: Transpose Problem

    Hi newbie,

    My Edge browser and the Excel Forum are not*getting along this evening, otherwise I would have posted my file last post. See an example*of UnPivot at:

    http://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2013/11...n-power-query/

    BTW - you need to have 2016 excel or if you have 20120 or 2013, you need to install the power query add-in.
