Transpose columns to rows where data exists

[Ochenden]

This is hard to explain so I've attached an example of what I need.

Basically there are authors for each book and they are listed in separate columns but I need them in a single column.

For my data there are thousands of rows and heaps of columns (some books have 50+ authors so that is 50+ columns).

I'm pretty clueless with the macro language so help would be great. Thanks.

Ochenden,

Welcome to the Excel Forum.

Detach/open workbook ReorgData w1 columns wR A B - Ochenden - EF766909 - SDG12.xls and run macro ReorgData.


To run the macro from Excel, open the workbook, and press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.

Wow. Works a treat! This weekend I'm going to start learning this stuff - it's so powerful.

Thank you this saves a lot of time.

Hi All,

I have a similar situation, but I have data in Column A, Band C to copy down.

I guess looking at the example file is more self-explanatory.

thanks all for your help.

stanleydgromjr,

I was wondering how I could use your transpose columns into rows code with the excel workbook "sample.xlsm" I attached to this post reply. I tried to modify your code but I could not get the same results.

I know you helped Ochenden with this simple example, but my data set contains column headings.

I want to group columns E through R with a new column title by the name "test" and the data within them under a new column title by the name "testresponse".

I provided you with a worksheet in the workbook of what the data should look like.

Thanks in Advance
