Moving columns into rows
I'm constantly getting e-mails at work that require me to make a spreadsheet
of the names the e-mail was sent to. The text looks something like this (and it's all in one cell) after I paste it into Excel (I'm using 2002 SP3 on Windows XP Pro). LastName, Firstname; LastName2, FirstName2; LastName 3, FirstName3; etc. I know how to break the names up by semicolons using the "Text to Column" feature, but how do I make the names that are then in 20 or more columns into rows? I would like the finished product to look like this: LastName, Firstname LastName2, FirstName2 LastName 3, FirstName3 etc. Any ideas on doing this without a macro? Thanks, Jim |

copy the cells and then use Paste Special | Transpose to copy them to another area on the spreadsheet. Regards Trevor "jim314" wrote in message ...
