    Question Copying Horizontal to paste vertical

    Hi all

    Bit of a simple question I expect so hoping someone can help.

    I have a table of numbers that run horizontally from A2:J2. What I want to do is copy these to somewhere else on the sheet but to run Vertically so to run from say M2:M11

    What I tried first was copying the whole selection of numbers area and repasting this by selecting the paste area as what I wanted vertically.

    This works after a fashion but it pastes it both vertically AND horizontally in a table which overwrites the numbers that I have in the coumn to the right of the paste area I want. (Hope this makes sense)

    Any ideas?

    Right click -> paste spetial -> check Transpose

    Or, if you need to do that all the time, from same place, go to M2, write =TRANSPOSE(A2:J2) and hit ctrl+shift+enter

    Hello,
    Working on the same sort of thing. I can't seem to get the =transpose() formula to work properly. Do I need to fill down somehow?
    I did hit ctl+shift+enter, which added the {} symbol, but it only fills in the cell I am in (M2 from example).

    Thanks,
    Jenrich

    zbor, you have to highlight the range you want transpose to work in first before using the formula. In this example, the OP would have to highlight M2:M11 before entering the formula for it to work right.

    In terms of formulae, for sake of simplicity (ie arrays etc), use INDEX

    M2: =INDEX($A$2:$J$2,ROWS(M$2:M2))
    copy down to M11
