Hello everybody,
have you ever met situation when Excel columns go from right to left (column A is first from the right) but data are ingested from left to right (January is in column L, December in A). If I just copy and paste all data I have wrong order. How can I reverse order of columns? Can I change spreadsheet to get column A on the left? If I could reverse order of data (i.e. January in column A) it would also be OK for me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you very much for your answer. However it does not resolve all problems. It reverses whole spreadsheet together with columns. I need data in columns in reversed order.
I forgot in first message: I work on PC, Windows 10, Excel Office 365.

Oh so I misunderstood.
try:
  • copy row with months
  • paste transform
  • add index (1..12)
  • sort reverse index column (with two columns selected) (12..1)
  • copy vertical range of months
  • paste transform
  • remove previous data
  • move actual data to the right place
or maybe find any vba to sort selected range or use PowerQuery
