    How turn multiple columns/1 row into 1 column multiple rows

    Hi there,

    I am new to Excel and I suck, after searching for a solution in excel help directory and on the net I decided to post my questions to the excel experts here :-)

    It's probably very simple but I don't know how to do it:

    I have imported data from a text file to a csv file simply by saving the text file as a .csv. The text file contained emails separated by ";". When I converted to .csv I ended up with the bulk of the emails spread on 1 row and multiple columns (1 email per column) I actually would like to perform the other way around: 1 column and then multiple rows (1 row per email)

    So instead of having all data on a single row with multiple columns such as:

    email tab A - email tab B - email tab C - email tab X^100

    I would like to have data on a single column but with multiple rows:

    Email row 1
    Email row 2
    Email row 3
    Email row X^100

    How could I do that? A solution either before converting to csv or once in csv format solutions are fine to me...

    The purpose of this is to import emails to a database which only read emails in .csv format and displayed by rows, not columns)

    Thanks guys!

    Hello,

    select the cells with data in the row, copy the selected cells.
    click an empty cell and use Edit - Paste special - tick Transpose - OK

    cheers,
