Excel rotating list - action-oriented solutions

How do I rotate in Excel?

To rotate the text in cells, first highlight the cells you that contain the text you want to rotate. Make sure the “Home” tab is active and click the “Orientation” button in the “Alignment” section of the “Home” tab (the button with the slanted text). Select an option to rotate the text.

Let's take a look at three ways you can transpose your data in Excel. (upbeat music) Method one is static, two and three are dynamic.

Let me know which method you are using in the comments below. For me, method three was my most used method far. Here is our sample dataset.

We have a list of apps and their sales values. Method number one is the static method. So I'm going to highlight the area that I want to transpose.

I press Ctrl + C, go to the area where I want my result to be pasted, right click, Paste Special, check the box for Transpose, click OK. This is my data. But one disadvantage is that it is not dynamic, but static.

If something changes here, it is not carried through here. Method number two is to use the transpose formula and yes there is a formula called TRANSPOSE. You only need one argument.

So I'm just going to highlight this, close parenthesis, hit enter, it doesn't work! If I hit the formula bar and hit F9 to see what's behind it, I can see my apps here, I can see mine Numbers here, but not all of these results can be put in one cell, and since TRANSPOSE is an array formula, I need to highlight the areas, i.e. the cells where I want the results to appear, before writing the formula, the tricky one Part is to highlight the area first, because let's say I'm sure if it goes here or here or here.

I can count, but I am not patient enough to count. I'm just going to highlight this, go to the formula bar, type in the same formula, close the parenthesis. Now is the important part.

Don't press Enter, press Ctrl, Shift, and then Enter. We see our results in separate cells, which is great, but it gets clipped so far because I didn't select enough cells before. So I'll move on to this, but the result is messed up.

That's because I have to go back to the Formula Bar and click Ctrl + Shift + type it again. Now we can see that it has been corrected. Because it's a formula, whatever I change here will go through with it.

So that's the benefit of using this let's take a break, future dynamic arrays will make transposing data a lot easier. You don't have to worry about highlighting the result range first before writing your formula, you have to yourself also don't worry about hitting Ctrl + Shift + Enter as the formula is SPILL by default, I've already posted a article on dynamic arrays, it shows you the potential of what it can do, check the link in the description. So let's move on to method number three, the goal is simple cell references.

I want this to be the same, and then I want this to be the same. But the problem is, I can't pull this because when I do it is actually moving in that direction, right, it's not moving down. And I could go through anyone and type in the formula, but that's going to be super annoying, right? So instead, I'm going to type the formula into the cell as text.

Instead of entering the equal sign, I'll enter A3, and then here, 'I'll enter A4, and so on. But I'm not going to do this manually, I'll use Excel's file l options to help me with this. Another thing I'll do is add a prefix to this cell reference.

I'll use my initials lg. And you'll see in a moment why lgA3 is here and lgB3 is here. This is supposed to be this cell.

I'll highlight this and drag over it. Then see what happens here. It says lgB12-B14.

The numbers after the initials are moving in the right direction .Ctrl + H. I look for lg and replace it with the equal sign.

I get my formulas in. And it's simple formulas, but it's a lot faster than going into each cell and typing the reference to the correct cell, especially When you have a lot of columns and a lot of data. Now let me know what your preferred transposition method is in the comments below too.

What is the formula for rotating a list in Excel?

This number (say, Offset1) will give you the 'true' number of times you have to rotate (cycle) your list. C1 contains the order of the cycle (your Offset, or the 'fictitious' number of rotations), and A3 contains the number of items (probably #OfPeople+1 ).

How to rotate a list of drivers in Excel?

When 'Y' or 'N' are entered into column G, then row is moved to the bottom of the list. The spreadsheet is never reset, it is on-going from day to day. Drivers can be added to the list, so the list grows and the 'bottom' therefore changes. Thank you! Last edited by cathym123; 08-26-2019 at 02:38 PM . Reason: Upload an example Welcome to the forum.

What is an example of a rotating list?

Example: A list of 5 names that would rotate every 45 minutes? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. Lz. If you have 10 names change the above bolded 5 with 10 and adjust the VLOOKUP range - should be $I:$I... Cheers | Lz. (GMT +1)

How often do you rotate employees in Excel?

The only thing I want to have rotate are the names bi-weekly. So there are 20 employees and they need to rotate every two weeks so in essence their names should move down every two weeks to cover the previous person shift. The only thing I want is the names to rotate and the rest stays the same.
