Transpose columns

[Myriam Kwek]

I have the following data, in a single column:

C1.1
5.76E-10
Undeveloped
No
O/C

C10
1.49E-9
Basic
No
S/C

C10.1
1.49E-9
Undeveloped
No
O/C. Sin efecto.

I want to transpose it to columns, in the following way:

C1.1 5.76E-10 Undeveloped No O/C
C10 1.49E-9 Basic No S/C
C10.1 1.49E-9 Undeveloped No O/C. Sin efecto.

That is, C1.1, C10, and C10.1 in one column, the numbers in the column next to it, Undeveloped, Basic, Undeveloped in the column next to it, etc.

I thought of the following:

- Start at the first cell in the column
- Cut the first 5 cells and place them in a row (transpose)
- When you hit a blank row, cut the cells below it and place them underneath the first row that was transposed.

I'm new to visual basic, and I don't know how to implement it. Thanks

It sounds like you are using Excel. I would first recommend learning to record macros and editing them. While recording a macro, try to use your keyboard as much as possible. Use CTRL+SHIFT+ARRO W and SHIFT+ARROW for selecting. Use CTRL+ARROW for navigating when possible.

Post what you come up with if you have any issues.

Hello, and thanks. Yes I'm using Excel. I know how to write some basic macros using VB code, but I need a macro which transposes cell contents. Similar to the "Paste Special" option in Excel, selecting "Transpose" .

Right now I've only gotten code to copy a range of cells to another area of the spreadsheet. But I need them to be transposed horizontally.

' Select the Range To Copy
  ' Range("A6:A10").Select
  ' Selection.Copy
  
   'Put it in Range to Paste
   ' Range("C6:C10").Select
   ' ActiveSheet.Paste

Run the macro "Transpose" in the attachment.
If You want help with the implementation of the macro on Your data, please attach in Bytes a sheet with Your data (or a part of it if the file is to big) and an example how You want the end result.(XLS files must be ZIPPED !)

Start recording a macro and record the Paste Special/Transpose so you know how to write it.

IMO the best way to get started writing Excel macros is by recording your actions and looking at the generated code.
