    Question Simple Transpose, Cell Offset?

    Hello! I hope someone will be able to help me! I have been searching for quite some time for a solution, and it seems this forum will help!

    I have the results of a survey, and would like to transpose them so that they can be analyzed. Right now, the format looks like this:

    A B C
    RespondentID Question Answer (header)
    Resp1 Question 1 Answer 1
    Resp1 Question 2 Answer 2
    Resp2 Question 1 Answer 1
    Resp2 Question 2 Answer 2 ... (and so on, for 6288 rows)


    I'd like it to look like:
    A B C
    RespondentID Question 1 Question 2
    Resp1 Answer 1 Answer 2
    Resp2 Answer 1 Answer 2


    I have never worked with VBA or Macros before, so I'm trying my way along...

    I understand that I have to copy the respondent ID's, skipping the copies, and also transcribe column C. I've come up with this so far:

    This copies the first respondent's ID to a new sheet, then goes back to the original sheet and jumps to the next respondent. However, if I have it Loop, it pastes the next ID on top of the first ID. How do I code it to skip to the next cell??

    If anyone understands what I'm trying to do and can give me a code (as simple as possible?) I would be so grateful!!

    Thank you all so much!

    Hi,

    You don't actually need a macro. If your example data is in A1:C5 then

    Copy E2 to F2 then Copy E2:G2 down half the number of rows covered by your data.

    Richard,

    Thank you for the quick reply! I am not sure I understand the code... I have the respondent ID repeated 27 times (as there were 27 questions) - I simplified it for my example.

    So it actually goes:

    A
    a0q30000001WaFL
    a0q30000001WaFL
    a0q30000001WaFL
    a0q30000001WaFL (27 times)
    a0q30000001Wb3r
    a0q30000001Wb3r
    a0q30000001Wb3r
    a0q30000001Wb3r (again, 27 times)
    ...and so on.

    Is the formula different then? I have tried to change the numbers but I'm not sure which to change.


    Thanks for the help!

    Hi,
    Yes the formula is different, assuming there are 30 questions

    copy F2 across to AI2, then copy E2:AI2 down for as many rows as there are IDs.

    Regards
