    Convert rows to one single long column?

    If I have a bunch of rows with say 5 columns each, is there an easy way to convert it to one big long column, just adding each row below the information from the previous row after being converted to a column? Copy and then Paste Special Transpose doesn't quite do it since it makes multiple columns.

    Re: Convert rows to one single long column?

    You can use a formula, assuming that the data starts in A1 you can use this
    for a 5 column

    =OFFSET($A$1,CEILING(ROW(1:1)/5,1)-1,MOD(ROW(5:5),5))

    copy down as long as needed will return

    A1
    B1
    C1
    D1
    E1
    A2
    B2
    and so on

    replace A1 with the upper left most cell, when done copy and paste special
    as values in place

    Thank you very much Peo. It is amazing what people can do with these nested formulas.
