data from columns to rows, or vice versa.

and quarters along the left side:

the Cut command or CONTROL+X won’t work.

Select the first cell where you want to paste the data, and on the Home tab, click the arrow next to Paste,
and then click Transpose.

Pick a spot in the worksheet that has enough room to


paste your data. The data you copied will overwrite any
data that’s already there.
