Transposing Data From Rows To Columns
Jul 8, 2013
I have a piece of equipment that I use for temperature profiling temperature controlled chambers. The equipment has up to 16 channels for logging data, although we typically only use 9. The data output from the equipment is by Text file and we convert this to Excel for manipulation into a format that can be issued as a certificate.
The test file outputs the data mainly in a single column and similarly when it is converted to excel the data remains in a single column. To enable us to present the data in a format that is presentable as a certificate we most transpose the data from each channel from a single column into an individual columns for each channel. Because I have limited knowledge of Excel, this operation is very time consuming and I'm sure there must be a quicker way to perform this operation in Excel.
I have attached a copy of the text file and the resulting Excel file with the data in it's original format and also in the final format. This is only a snapshot of the data over 30 minutes and we normally carry out measurements over 24 hours.

I really could use some help here. I have ~25,000 rows of data, contact information, and I am trying to convert it to columns with the corresponding 9 column headers (Full Name, Job Title, Company, Business Street, Busines City, State, Business Phone, Business Fax, Web Page, E-Mail Address). The challenge is that each record does NOT have the same number of rows...?? I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this a stupid question. I've attached the data for three records below and also in the attached spreadsheet ...

We utilize large data sheets that can be as large as 300K in rows and 10 to 15 columns wide. Because of how we receive the data, we are forced to manipulate things so that all matching data for a record ends up on a single row. (e.g. Record#, Document Type, Husband Name, Wife Name, Wife Maiden Name, Etc.)
Right now here's how the data is received:
a
a
a
b
b
c
c
c
c
d
d
d
e
e
e
e
Using two vba scripts, we first separate the data with row spaces between the unique data as follows:
a
a
a
b
b
c
c
c
c
Then with another script, we transpose the data as follows:
a a a
b b
c c c c
d d d
e e e e
When we transpose the data, the end result starts at the top of the page and go down eliminating the original blank rows. Not a huge issue but I would like to be able to maintain the original data format of the rows so that the data matches the original sheet line for line. The end result would give me the data as follows...
a a a
b b
c c c c
d d d
e e e e e
where the vertical gaps between the letters matches the original rows. Like I said, not a huge issue since we can rejoin the transposed data to the original data fairly easily. But it would be nice if we could end up with the above format for speed sake.
The two scripts we use, one-to insert the rows and two-to transpose, take a very long time to run with the transpose script taking the longest by far. On a 30K row sheet, it will take on our systems around 30 minutes to transpose and about 15 minutes to insert rows. Because we have several columns that need to be transposed, a 30K row sheet will take at least 2 hours to complete. A 300K row sheet, that will take 10 to 15 hours to complete.
Is there any way to speed up the scripts either by upgrading to a faster CPU and or writing the scripts to preform faster?
My preferred solution would be to write (have) a formula to preform the transposition that gives me the results as noted above since formula's run so much faster than vba. Is this possible? I have tried all kinds of formulas and can not come close and of course the straight transpose function does not give me the solution I need as noted above.
I have enclosed an excel 2010 spreadsheet with 10K rows of data in rows along with the scripts I use (nothing sensitive here). The tabs at the bottom shows you the data before I transpose, then the data after it has been transposed . To speed up the scripts, I have stripped away the all the rest of the data from the original sheet except just what I need to transpose at one time. Once that is completed, we then re-join the transposed data with the original sheet. The six digit number you see to the far left of the data is the record ID number from the original data. We use this to rejoin the transposed data with the original data so that we know everything is back where it should be. (Note: The insert rows script is run on the original data and not the data you see on the enclosed spreadsheet. That is the only way we can generate unique rows with matching ID numbers. We arrive at this by taking the original data, concatenate the record ID with the column we want to transpose and add a # between the two so that we can break things back apart after the transposition using the text to column function using the # as the separator.)
The sheet I have attached is in the 2010 Macro Enabled format...(xlsm format). We use the xlsb (binary) format for the data to reduce the file size as our normal procedure and run the macros from inside that format. Changing from the xlsx to xlsb format did seem to speed up the scripts a bit and greatly improved the file performance as a whole e.g. saving and loading.
One thing I have done to speed up the scripts is to strip all the data away that is not needed for the transposition. That did work but only a marginal amount.
We are using windows 8.0 with 4G memory and your basic processor speed...e.g. nothing fancy.....just your basic stock computer. Nothing else unusual is installed or running on the computer or at the time the scripts are running.
For those of you that process large sheets, how much of a performance upgrade will we see in processing our scripts by either upgrading memory to 8G (or more or much more) and or getting a faster processor? Or have we reached the maximum script speed already? Or is this a limit to Excel.
One other issue to note: As I stated above, on the 30K row sheets, not a super problem with about 2 hours needed to run the scripts on all the data on the sheet. But on the 300K row sheets, it can take 12 or more hours to run and there are times when things 'lock up' running the scripts on sheets this size.

The title makes it sound simpler than it is. I have 2 columns of data which I need to transpose.
The difficult bit is that Reference Number 1 may have 3 reasons (so therefore 3 rows) that need transposing into 4 columns (reference number, reason1, reason2, reason3)
Is there a way to do this?
I have attached a spreadsheet with the original table and how I need the end result to look.

I ve got a similar issue with converting the rows to columns... At the file I attached below, I need to convert to columns some sort of data which is organized as rows. They are all set up as 12 cells in a row and I need to convert them to a single column which keeps the time references of the data. I mean, both of the data and their years will be needed for my aims, but it is not important to keep the years columns with dataset, as long as rows are literally converted to columns under their order.
I actually found a vba macro on the net but it doesn't useful at all when it comes to keeping all data in their original order. It has some specific design to solve the issue without the aim of keeping the data in its original order I guess. Is there any possibility to modify its code or any other way to do this?
Code:
Sub Data_to_Column()
Dim rData As Range
Dim r As Range, c As Range
Dim rStart As Range
Dim counter As Integer
[Code]...

I have a spreadsheet that calculates data in multiple columns (A:AN) and each column has 27 rows of data called "Sheet 1". As it stands, the spreadsheet goes out very far. On "Sheet 2" I would like for all of the data in "Sheet 1", columns A:AN to be "transposed" to "Sheet 2" in column A only. So, column A on "Sheet 2" would have the data from "Sheet 1" A1:A27, B1:B27, C1:C27, so on and so forth. I would like for the formatting to maintain the same order as well.
An example would be:
Sheet 1
Column A B
Row
1 Green Red
2 Blue Yellow
3 Black Cyan
4 Pink Magenta

I have an Excel Sheet1
The sheet has horizontal info a list of "headers" going horizontally across row 2. So row 2 may have A2= Date, B2=Name, C3=Style, D3= ........
The header rows will vary in some cases. I want to use a formula to copy and transpose the information to Sheet2. I would like the list of headers to go vertical instead of horizontal. So A1=Date, A2-Name, A3=Style, A4= ..... all the way down.
I know about Copy -> Special -> transpose but I need something that is dynamic and simple. I know I can use the indirect function and do something like this =INDIRECT( "Sheet1!" & ADDRESS(1,2) ) . However I was trying to figure out two things. How best can I make the columns dynamic and increment up especially if I am not starting at A1? Is there a better formula to use that is not volatile like INDIRECT?

I've got an issue where I'm trying to transpose data from one column into several rows. I've been looking for a macro to help me out but can't seem to find a way to do this. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?
Ideally, the macro would be written so it would find the data in the column and move it to a new sheet and then it would repeat the process throughout the document. The macro would know that the data is grouped b/c of the blanks found between the data set. So as the macro is running, once it hits a blank, it would then copy and transpose the data and continue. Does this make sense?
I've posted a sample of the info I'm working with.

I was recently helped very much by the forum moderator and code from D_Rennie in a file to transpose about 25,000 rows into a few organized columns. The code worked very well. I have a slightly new twist on the problem. I have uploaded a different file with a different data structure in the columns but the same need for the data to be transposed to the columns under the same headings. This VBA worked very well before, but I can't seem to re-use it for this new dataset.

I have a set of chemicals from groundwater tests at various wells. I need to sort the data, but chemical names can prove to be frustrating, since often times numbers or letters are found before the chemical name. Essentially, I'm trying to sort like this example:
Further complicating things is that at the end there's a (m,p-Xylene) and (o-Xylene) thrown into the mix.
Is there an easy way to do this sort? I imagine I'll have to have some sort of reference list that the sorting looks to?
After I sort it and do some data manipulation, I have a macro that transposes the data like the example below:
Here's the macro:
Sub Step4_ReorgData()
Dim w1 As Worksheet, wR As Worksheet
Dim c As Range, LR As Long, NR As Long, NC As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

I've taken part of our instrument service data and eventually want to trend the performance but have decided it will only useful to use data where I have 4 or more data points. However with so much data I want to automate the process rather than scrolling through the column. I assume this requires a lookup table of sorts but I don't know how to combine that and getting the other bits of relevant information (I.e. all dates and results).

I have the attached file with two worksheets D30(1) and Sheet 2.
I need to extract some of the information contained on the D30(1) sheet into the format as contained on Sheet 2. It is almost like a transpose but because all of the information is not needed and all cells don't have info in it, I didn't even try to transpose the D30(1) info.
Is there an easy way to extract the information from sheet D30(1) to present it in the format of Sheet 2? I need to do this for approximately 50 sheets similar to D30(1). Some sheets might even have more columns than the example provided.

see the desired result tab in the sheet to get an idea of what I am looking for as the end result.
Keep in mind that the actual source file I am working with could have up to 50000 row, and the expected results could be around 2000 rows. So nothing can be done manually.

Reorganizing data, that would probably be best achieved with a macro. I've attached a file that represents my situation fairly well. There are 2 tabs, an Input and Output tab.
The input tab has Names along the left side, that may change in number frequently. Then along the top I have metrics, and values corresponding to the names. What I need a macro to do is to basically create an "entry" in the Output tab for each value.
The output tab is in a specific order, but basically there are 8 columns. The 4 unspecified columns don't need to be filled. The other 4 represent data from the input tab. The "Metric Value" can simply be filled with 0s for now.
