Transposing Multiple Rows And Columns To One Column
Jul 27, 2013
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'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 am trying to reformat the attached doc into one single column, It's a race listing of overseas marathons and I need it to look like this
Event Name Event Date City Country Entry fee Website
in date order, one event after the other in a single column so I can flow it into a word doc ready to be designed. I need to apply in Excel (I am using 2007) to get this doc into the required format?!!
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
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 ...
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?
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.
I have a column with (for example) 5 entries A1, A2, A3, and so on. I would like to pick up this data, tranpose it into a row, put it on the 2nd sheet, but (again for example) be specific about where i want it to go. I may want to have A1 at B2, A2 at E2, A3 at H2, etc
I have a table with 6 columns (A to F) and multiple rows each, with cells containing words. Taking the words in any one cell from each of the columns in order from A to F will form a complete sentence each time. I need a solution to display all unique possible combinations in column G.
The number of rows is different for each column. A successful result in column G has to include cells from all columns (A to F).
I searched this forum and found a few analogous questions/solutions, but nothing close enough for me to apply to my case. I tried using a concatenation formula, but I have to manually edit the formula in each cell to get all unique combinations (and that would mean thousands of times). If I just drag the formula down it will increment all cell rows instead of one cell's row at a time.
Here's an example : all possible unique combinations.jpg
I'm currently faced with a spreadsheet that has data formatted like this: A 1 RandomRowofData1 2 RandomRowofData2 3 RandomRowofData3 4 RandomRowofData4 5 RandomRowofData5 6 RandomRowofData6 7 RandomRowofData7 8 RandomRowofData8 9 RandomRowofData9
Every 9 rows, a new "set" of data repeats itself (wow, this is so hard to put into words)....
I need to figure out a way to get the data in column "A", every 9 rows, to transpose itself into 9 separate columns.
I have 300 rows worth of data that looks similar to this, all organized in one column:
John Q. Smith Programmer 2111 NW 13th St Anywhereville, USA, 55555 (555) 555-5555 Joe P. Snider Organizer 5645 NW 45th St Anywhereville, USA, 55555 (555) 555-5555 Patty Williams Accountant 6454 NW 34th St Anywhereville, USA, 55555 (555) 555-5555
As you can see it is consistent with the name, position, address line 1, address line 2, Phone number, for every single entry. All my names are already alphabetized so I don't have to worry about it. What I want to do is have the information for each entry translated into 5 separate columns so it looks like this.

Supposing I started the sheet in the top left corner at A1, I was just going to have cell B1=A1 then Cell B2=A6 then just autofill down column B but it doesn't work. I have seen some people do something similar to what I want with VBA but I am convinced there has to be something simple in with an excel formula seeing as my information is already so organized and consistent.
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 have a macro that converts all my PDF Purchase Orders to a text file and inserts the data/text horizontally into another document. However because the PDF's or the text within the PDF can be fomatted differently (that is on different lines etc) it therefore imports the information and it looks mis-aligned.I have attached a simple spreadsheet showing some sample text as it is imported and then below this how it should look like, all in line.
The range where the highlighted text in red is, is variable (but say nothing more than a variant of 10 columns). The text can also be Uppercase or Lowercase.So, I was wondering if there is macro code to find the "text" on various rows/columns and align it all in another column?
I have created a spreadsheet to show some reports and I wanted to serch for some datas which overloops themeselves. If you can have a look at a test file I attached you will see the full picture. I have 2 tables, where the 2nd one is on the right side of the 1st one. 1st table:..............
I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.
I have a list of names in columns with a header row. On another page labeled one of the header row names I need to call the corresponding names from the 1st page to the second page and transpose the range.
Column A | Column B | Column C Los Angeles | Fire Dept | 3 Los Angeles | Health Services | 12 New York | Fire Dept | 8 New York | Health Services | 22 New York | Internal Services | 100 New York | Public Works | 7 Chicago | Health Services | 15 Chicago | Public Works | 56 Chicago | Social Services | 4
And I am trying to make it look like this:
Fire Dept Health Services Internal Services Public Works Social Services
I want to to copy selected columns of sales data into rows organized by salesperson. I have just started out with VBA and find that I cannot do it myself.
My original data are in the form of the following:
invoice_no product sales qty total
[Code] .....
I want to display the data in another sheet in the following format:
1. Copy data from original file (I do not want to do anything in the original file) into the spreadsheet (Target worksheet)where the code should run. 2. In sheet 1 of Target Worksheet, there are 2 columns which I need to set criterias on namely Column D and Column L 3. In Column D, I want to specify 3 criterias namely A, B and C 4. In Column L, I want to specify 5 criterias namely London, Frankfurt, New York, Sydney and Tokyo 5. If Criterias in 3 and 4 are met, copy all rows into Sheet 2 of Target Worksheet
I have a large spreadsheet that contains and employee number and then up to 5 entries of Dependants (each has its own column). What I need to do is have 1 for each of the dependant information instead of 5 and have multiple rows for the employee if they have more than one dependant.
At the moment I am sorting the data by dep 1 name, pasting the data into a new sheet, deleting all the dep 1 stuff, sorting by dep name 2 and pasting that.........etc.
It doesn’t take too long to do but I just wondered if there might be a quicker way as this will be something I will need to do more often.
Want a single count of multiple columns based on the columns selected value. Data is in text format.
Have tried multiple COUNTIF statements and have tried using pivot table (Excel 2010) both only give me total counts for all. I think I need an OR statement somewhere, but not sure where?
In other words, if a single record has an "any" in the any fields or a "yes" in the yes fields, I want to to count that as one record.
