Hi All,

Your kind support appreciated with below Excel case...

How to copy a raw [put in mind the row is formula and not a value] and paste it in another sheet as a column ?

Since it's a formula it won't work.


 Thanks in advance :)

Abdullah,

 

No matter if the content of the row is formulas or values!

 

Follow these steps:

  • Select the row and copy it.
  • Go to another location and press Ctrl+Alt+V to open the paste special dialog box.
  • Select Transpose and hit OK.

Thanks Haytham for your feedback

I wish it's that easy, Please check below snapshots for more information.

In column D all cells are a formula ='Abdullah'!B27

When I copy them to paste in another sheet [with the same steps you shared] it won't work as they are a formula, Please check below.

Hope it's clear now :)

 

Thanks,

 

Thanks Haytham for your feedback :)

 

I wish it's that simple, please check below snapshot's for better understanding.

In column D, all cells are a formula [='GSM GAP'!G63], If I implement your shared steps the result won't appear, Please check below snapshot.

Hope it's clear now.

 

Thanks again for your help :)

 

I didn't know that the cells you have in column D are cell references!

 

In this case, you have two choices to choose one of them:

 

#1 Get rid of the formulas and paste them as values by just choosing Values option in addition to Transpose as the below screenshot:

#2 Before you apply the steps in the previous answer, do change the cell references in column D as follows:

Replace this: 

='GSM GAP'!G63

With this:

='GSM GAP'!$G63

Apply this change to all cells in column D, and then copy and paste into another location by following the steps in the previous answer.

Dear Haytham,
BIG thanks from the hart,

The first solution didn't work, so I used the second.

2# didn't work but it gave me another way to do my task, so thanks a lot for your kind support.

Best Regards,,,,
