[Solved] Moving info in a row to a column with formula

Post by cartoonjazz »

Is it possible to have calc fill formulas based on an incrementing cell letter rather than number?

the source data from another tab in a worksheet is listed horizontally in a row not vertically in a column. So instead of autofill incrementing A1, A2, A3,,,etc. We require it to fill A1, B1, C1 etc.
source sheet 1 looks like this

sheet 2 should show the data in sheet i vertically instead of horizontally

Do the auto-fill in the same direction as the data.
While a formula could be written to properly account for the increasing column designator while going down rows, it's easier to work with what's already coded to the program

Thank you, that does work however I really need to to do it the way described. I wonder if there is a formula for generating it the way I require. ie make the letter part of the formula an expression that increments by 1 and leaving the number part of the cell. You mentioned there was a way of doing this can you point me in the right direction of how you would build the formula?

Try the array function named: TRANSPOSE()
