      I have tested your code but it is not working properly. Same address is repetting. So I think you need to check it again.

    here is my short with the formula

    Define names:

    d = transpose!$A$1:$A$87

    la = IFERROR(LOOKUP(ROW(d),ROW(d)*1/(d="")),1)

    Final formula is

    IFERROR(LOOKUP("Ω",IF((ROW(d)=SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(la,ROW(d))>0,ROW(d)),ROW($A1))+COLUMN(A$1)-1+ISNUMBER((ROW(A1)-1)^0)),IF(la=SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(la,ROW(d))>0,ROW(d)),ROW($A1)),d))),"")

    Change the ? with an Omega sign

    To be array entered..drag it down and across..

    I am looking to shorten it.

      Hello
      I'm from Brazil and I'm using an online translator

      It happened some strange things here,
      I tested in various browsers' untranslated "
      the type of quotes "" is changed
      l-1 -> minus sign is changed

      code did not work

      it is only me that is?

      Other than that I found the challenge a bit confusing
      I like to play making macros, displacement and dynamically reallocate data using arrays
      so I posted a solution
      the beginning I thought it was because of translation

      @Kuba,
      Nice peace of code.
      Just change the "A2" into "A1" and you are set.
      I would change that command into:
      Set RNG = ws1.Range("A1", ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
      Thanks.

      I found some problem with your following code:

      Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
      False, Transpose:=True

      • Baudouin says:

        I made this code yesterday in a few minutes before going to bed and tested it with satisfaction.

        I did test it again this morning and found no problem on my system (W8.1 and Excel 2013 French versions).

        Then I did some changes to the code to make it "better":

        Add a clean of the paste range.
        Add some comments.
        Did cancel the "Select/Selection" part of the PasteSpecial part.
        Change the paste range (C:J --> K:R).

        I did not cancel the "Select/Selection" part of the Copy part because c value would not be correct (would stay at value = 1).

        I did add some extra values to the column A for testing and everything was OK.

        Here is the actual code:

        Sub Transpose_to_Rows()
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Dim a As Range 'Is the range of datas.
        Dim b As Long 'Counter to determine the row number where the transposed datas are pasted.
        Dim c As Integer 'Counter of copied cells used to determine d as total counter.
        Dim d As Long ' Counter to find the next line where the following copy starts.
        Dim e As Integer 'Value to be added to c to make d after first paste. Because there is no blank row before row 1.
        Dim cell As Range
        Set a = Range("A:A")
        b = 1
        Columns("K:R").ClearContents
        Range("A1").Select
        For Each cell In a
        Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
        c = Selection.Rows.Count
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        Selection.Copy
        Range("K" & b).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=True
        If b > 1 Then
        e = 1
        Else
        e = 0
        End If
        d = d + c + e
        b = b + 1
        Range("A" & 2 + d).Select
        If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then
        MsgBox "Done!"

    My code in Power Query M is the longest so far 🙂 Apart from the function part it can be done using PowerQ User Interface.
    1. define range in Excel: =transpose!$A$1:$A$88 (one blank row at the end!)
    2. create a blank query in Power Query and paste:

    let
    // import data and add column to identify data records

    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="myRange"]}[Content],
    AddInd = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 0, 1),
    IsNull = Table.AddColumn(AddInd, "Custom", each if [Column1] = null then [Index] else null),
    FilledUp = Table.FillUp(IsNull,{"Custom"}),
    RenameCol = Table.RenameColumns(FilledUp,{{"Custom", "ColGroup"}}),

    //small function to transpose each data record separetly

    fTransform = (group as number) =>
    let
    Filter1 = Table.SelectRows(RenameCol, each ([ColGroup] = group)),
    Filter2 = Table.SelectRows(Filter1, each ([Column1] null)),
    RemoveIndexCol = Table.RemoveColumns(Filter2,{"ColGroup","Index"}),
    Transpose = Table.Transpose(RemoveIndexCol)
    in
    Transpose ,

    // trigger function for each record

    Beaten to the punch for the first Power Query solution 🙁

    My approach is a little different.

    I replace the blank rows with CR/LFs and then convert the list into a comma delimited list, add in a header and throw back through Power Query's CSV parser.

    let
    Table1 = let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}),
    #"Replaced Value0" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",null,"#(cr)#(lf)",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column1"}),

    #"Replaced Value" = Table.InsertRows(#"Replaced Value0", 0, { [Column1 = "Address1"],
    [Column1 = "Address2"], [Column1 = "Address3"], [Column1 = "Address4"], [Column1 = "Address5"], [Column1 = "Address6"],[Column1 = "#(cr)#(lf)"] }),

    Transform.ToCSVString = (table) =>
    Text.RemoveRange(List.Accumulate(Table.ToList(#"Replaced Value"), "", (a,b) => if b="""#(cr)#(lf)""" then a&"#(cr)#(lf)" else if Text.End(a,2) = "#(cr)#(lf)" then a & b else a & "," &b), 0, 1)

    in
    Transform.ToCSVString (#"Replaced Value"),
    #"Imported Text" = Lines.FromText(Table1),
    ConvertBackToBinary = Lines.ToBinary(#"Imported Text"),
    #"Imported CSV" = Csv.Document(ConvertBackToBinary,[Delimiter=",",Encoding=1252]),
    #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Imported CSV", {"Column1"}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Duplicates", each ([Column1] "Address1"))
    in
    #"Filtered Rows"

    the type of quotes "" is changed
    l-1 -> minus sign is changed

    code did not work

    it is only me that is?

    Other than that I found the challenge a bit confusing
    I like to play making macros, displacement and dynamically reallocate data using arrays

    its very easy, don't go in lengthy way
    just via using array formula
    for transposing range A1:A5

    click first on cell C7
    now from cell C7, select range C7:G7 go right side via using shift and arrow key (we selected only 5 cells cos Range A1:A5 consist 5 counts)

    now put function in =TRANSPOSE(A1:A5) in cell C7 with selecting all 5 cells as C7:G7
    now don't enter, u have to do Ctrl+Shift+Enter
    now u got the result as per need

  38. Harry says:

    This is actually possible in under 20 lines of code.

    The trick is not to copy or paste anything and make use of a loop through the variable with a secondary loop updating the table on the rights, using the blanks to tell the code when to start a new line and move to the next address. Then use something along the lines of

    If linevariable+1=""
    GoTo: End Sub

    To stop the code when it meets multiple blanks (the end of the table).

    I see several participants not declaring vars... probably just because of the code extracts... or is var declaration no longer 'good practice'?

    I made a formula and inserted a blank range in (1 :1)
    Named range Tlist A1:a89
    Named formula makearray iferror (--(Tlist) +row(Tlist)," ")
    Named formula lbound small(makearray, row())+1
    Named formula unbound small(makearray, row()+1)-1

    Formula in g1
    Iferror (index(Tlist,lbound+columns($g:g)-1+((lbound+columns($g:g)-1)>ubound)*rows(Tlist))," ")

    The iferror +second formula part ((lbound+....) is only to make neat empty cells, where the formula goes beyond the current range in Tlist. Somebody has a better solution for this?

    I really find strange that all the post above was for VBA (99%) and none of the them posted any workaround using power query. Hence I thought to give it a try.
    Initially I have used excel formulas and then fully power query. Even the initial steps could be done in Power Query but I am not yet fully aware of it. Someone can really help me with that.
    Step 1: I copied the data to new sheet in Column A2. Gave column heading as “Data”.
    Step 2: In Cell D2 I entered formula
    =--ISTEXT(Table1[@Data])
    And copied for entire table
    Step 3: In Cell E1 entered “0”
    Step 4: Entered following formula
    =IF(D2=1,D2+E1,D2)
    And copied to entire table.
    Step 5: I copied the result I got in step 4 as second column under column B and named it as “Count”.
    Step 6: Converted the column A (Data) and Column B (Count) into table. The imported into Power Query.
    All further steps were done in power query. Above steps could be done in power query but I am not yet aware about it.
    Following is script of Power Query:
    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Data", type text}, {"Count", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",null,"Break",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Data"}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Index", 1, 1),
    #"Inserted Subtraction" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Subtract", each [Index] - [Count], type number),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Inserted Subtraction",{"Index"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns", {{"Count", type text}}, "en-US"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns", {{"Count", type text}}, "en-US")[Count]), "Count", "Data"),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Subtract", "0"}),
    #"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Removed Columns1",null,"",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"4", "5", "6"})

      Nice method in power query. All steps could be done with ribbon commands and no need to edit M language. Very easy to learn compared to VBA.

      one of the line code should be
      Remove_Nulls = Table.SelectRows(Assign_Line_Nbr, each ([Column1] null)),

      this was missing.

  50. Jason Morin says:

    I didn't see any formula solutions so I'd thought I'd provide one. Only requires one small change: insert a cell in col. A so the first address starts in A2.

    Put this in C1 (array-entered) and fill across and down:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(INDIRECT("A"&SMALL(IF(ISBLANK(rng),ROW(rng)),ROW())+1&":A"&SMALL(IF(ISBLANK(rng),ROW(rng)),ROW()+1)-1),COLUMN()-2),"")

    where "rng" is defined as A1 to the first black cell after the last cell with text (in this case, it would be A89).

  51. Jason Morin says:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(INDIRECT("A"&SMALL(IF(ISBLANK(rng),ROW(rng)),ROW())+1&":A"&SMALL(IF(ISBLANK(rng),ROW(rng)),ROW()+1)-1),COLUMN()-2),"")

  52. SunnyKow says:

    My try using formulas:
    1) Insert a blank row at A1
    2) Cell C2 enter the formula =IF(A1="",A2,"")
    3) Cell D2 enter the formula =IF(AND(C20,$A3"",C2""),IF(OFFSET($A2,COLUMN()-3,0)=0,"",OFFSET($A2,COLUMN()-3,0)),"")
    4) Copy the formula in cell D2 copy to as many columns as needed
    5) You can then copy the entire row formula downwards

      Very good one.
      Just replace the "87" value by the following: Sheets(1).Range("A1048576").End(xlUp).Row

        You suggested command will fail if used in "Excel 2003" and earlier.

        LastRowR = Sheets("transpose").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    Hi I
    I rewrote my formula for better readability. The formula is using indirect, what I wanted to avoid first . I use named formulas because they take on array formulas. I use index because that formula also takes array formula. Didn't find much documentation on how this really works. Anyone?
    I inserted a row in (1:1).
    Named range Tlist a1:a89
    Named formula makearray iferror (--(Tlist) +row(Tlist), "")
    Named formula lbound small (makearray, row() +1
    Named formula ubound small(makearray, row() +1)-1

    in g1 IFERROR (INDEX (INDIRECT ("A" & LBOUND&"A:"&UBOUND), COLUMNS($ G:G)), "")

    I cannot see more than 46 comments on your Web page, which are the comments already there before my first post. Any solution? Thanks.

      Index is an array formula by nature...

      read the below links
      Hi - This is a good read though..

      If you wish to see the single formula solution without any changes to the base data...see the solution no 5.

      I am looking to improvise the solution in terms of length as soon as I get enough time to think over it again..

        Thank you very much Asheesh.

        I ll come back to you .

      • Jan Martens says:

        Hi Asheesh, I agree with your index(index formula. I think this is the best formula solution..
        I visited the excelxor blog and wow I felt like my son when he was freshly admitted at Poudlard, 10 years ago. My understanding of index offset choose and array formula is much better now. Thanks again.
        However when your array formula is put in a named formula., It doesn't need CSE again.

        IFERROR (INDEX (index (Tlist, lbound.) :index(Tlist, ubound). Column(a1)),"")

        On the excelxor blog
        Sum(indirect(adress({1,2,3,4,5},1) CSE gives the a1 value.
        When this whole formula is in a named formula, no need for CSE and the formula yields the sum of sum(a1:a5).this is equivalent to Sum(N(indirect(adress({1,2,3,4,5},1))) no CSE.

        Sum(named formula with INDIRECT......) CSE or not gives the a1value.
        Sum(N(named formula with INDIRECT......) CSE or not gives the a1value.

        I didn't t see any "good " explanation for this, named formulas are not promoted.

        Have a good day.

  62. David N says:

    I'll agree with Jason Morin in saying there haven't been "many" formula solutions. What I think makes this one different is that it's non-volatile (no INDIRECT or OFFSET), uses no helper cells/columns, doesn't require alteration of the data table, and doesn't leverage defined names to make itself "shorter."

    It does require execution as a CSE array and should be entered into a horizontal range of 8 cells (based on Chandoo's rule that each address could have up to 8 lines). Then it can simply be copied down to obtain subsequent addresses.

    =IFERROR(TRANSPOSE(INDEX($A$1:$A$87,IFERROR(SMALL(IFERROR(ROW($A$1:$A$87)/($A$1:$A$87=""),""),ROW(A1)-1),0)+1):INDEX($A$1:$A$87,SMALL(IFERROR(ROW($A$1:$A$87)/($A$1:$A$87=""),""),ROW(A1))-1)),"")

    @David Rahman,
    if your suggested MAcro should be considered as a Joke - may I say it is far from being funny...

    • David Rahman says:

      Michael Avid@ I am a not specialist like you. Although you said it is funny but it is working fine. Thanks for your remark.

    @David Rahman,
    It has nothing to do with being or not being a specialist.
    What will be the length of your Macro if the amount of the address-groups would have been 10,000 ?
    Your suggestion is similar to adding the values of a range of cells by adding one to the other - something like:
    =A1+A2+A3+A4+A5..........+A10000
    Instead of:
    =SUM(A1:A10000)

      Hi Jan
      Really like your coding simple and effective.

      Just ran it and spotted the first address block A1:A5 is not transposed for some reason. All the rest are perfect. Checked I have range name of TList correct as A1:A88 and this is Ok. Have I missed something?

        Hi Mike , thanks for appreciating.

        Most likely : I inserted a blank row in a1 when trying the formula solution.
        And then forgot about it. If you too insert a blank row, the code will work fine.
        This gives me a good reason to turn the code around and use SpecialCells constants.
        Hope this helps.

        You can replace rCell .Offset(1,0) by rCell(2).

  83. Jan Martens says:

    Hi,
    in yesterday's code I forgot that you need to insert a blank range in a1. Remainder of my formula trials. Also you can replace rCell. Offset (1,0) by rCell (2).
    Today's code tackles the blank range problem , so this will work whether the first row is empty or not.
    I kept the rCell variable for demonstration and comparison with yesterday. Although a variable name like singlearea might be more appropriate.

    Sub transposerarea()
    Dim rCell As Range

    Dim pasterange As Range
    Set pasterange =cells (1,3)

    Dim Counter as Long
    Counter =0

    For Each rCell In [Tlist]. SpecialCells (xlCellTypeConstants). Areas
