Trying to input data from columns in cell
Hi folks, have been having a problem all day trying to figure this out so any help would be great.
I am hoping to get a column from sheet1 to display as a row in sheet2 in excel. There are 651 records so dont want to do it one by one. I am using "=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2,1,1)" to get the first entry in and "=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$3,1,1)" to get the second. As soon as i try to drag the cell to the right it keeps giving me the same input over and over again. Doing my head in. Cheers Greg |

Hi
you can use the TRANSPOSE function to that effect Also review the INDEX syntax

Hi Pecoflyer,
thanks for the quick reply, I have done that but the names may be changing and there are 650 of them and I am actually setting this up for someone else who would not have the best of excel knowledge(even less than me if thats possible ) so I would like to have them linked from one sheet to the other. The only way I can see it being done at the moment is manually and as I said I would prefer not to have to do that manually. Thanks |

Hi again Pecoflyer,
Finally got it, thanks for the suggestions as even searching under what you suggested helped. Think I had been at it so long my brain was melted. =INDEX(Sheet1!$A2:A651,COLUMNS(Sheet2!$B1:B1),ROWS (Sheet2!$B$1:B1)) used that code and it works perfectly. |
