Excel HACK: Change HORIZONTAL Data to VERTICAL (NO Transpose Function needed)

May 9, 2019 Excel Advanced Formulas & Features

How can you reconfigure a horizontal row to a vertical column?
You can use a simple Excel hack to get this done.

In my previous video (https://youtu.be/yYVokk0NdiI) I talk about 2 other methods you can use. One method is to copy the data and paste special and select transpose. This way however the data is static.

Another option is to use the Excel TRANSPOSE function. One thing I don't like about the Transpose formula is that it's an array function and you need to remember to press Control shift enter (at least until you get dynamic array functionality). You also need to highlight the answer area first before inputting the Transpose formula.

This Excel hack is really simple. It's also dynamic and you can also account for additional cells. I came across this from Bob Umlas (his Excel books are great by the way). All you need to do is briefly switch to Excel's R1C1 referencing style. Find out more in the video.
