Past Special- Transpose Function?
I have a master data base of 20 columns of data. I want to transpose only 6
columns of that data to a different sheet, automatically recognizing the column headers from the master sheet to the matching column headers on a separte sheet. I suspect this can be acomplished with the Transpose Function. Just can't figure out how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Not clear with your description.
Transpose means rotating the data by 90 degrees. What do column headers in either sheet have to do with that?

Do you mean "transfer" as opposed to "transpose"?
If so, hopefully the columns in your two sheets are in the same order. If so, just hide the unwanted 14 columns in your master data base, copy the visible cells, then unhide the columns.

Sounds like a good plan Fred.
See what OP comes back with. Gord On Tue, 25 May 2010 13:26:31 -0600, "Fred Smith" wrote: Do you mean "transfer" as opposed to "transpose"?

You are exactly correct. Real bad terminology. Should have used "copy".
I have 20 columns with data assigned to a particular individual. I want to "copy" various columns, same information and format, to a different sheet, without having to go thru the motions of "copy-paste" on each column to the next. Maybe what I am looking for is an array formula. Example, row "A" is Bill with 100 data entries in the column. Then copy paste the array formula on the second page, and the array will fill in the column. Am I still confusing you? "Gord Dibben" wrote: Not clear with your description.

"A" is not a row. It is a column.
See Fred's reply regarding hiding columns then select visible data and copy/paste to other sheet. Or possibly use autofilter to pick up just "same information"? You can always copy/paste specialpaste link if you desire to keep the data updating. Note: with paste link you will have to take an extra step to also paste the formats.

Thought of that as well. Unfortunately, doesn't solve my problem. Master
columns are 1-20. On new sheet, they will vary in the order of the column. Column 1 may be in the 7th spot, etc. Good plan but..... "Gord Dibben" wrote: Sounds like a good plan Fred.

But as long as they are in the same order, the plan will work. If you want,
say, columns 7, 10, 14, 15, 18 and 20 from the master copied to the new sheet, hide columns 1 to 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17 and 19. Then copy. If they're not in the same order, you could have a hidden row on the new sheet which sorts the columns for you. Or, a macro might be your best solution.
