Linking veritical transposed cells from a horizontal sheet

[barryn]

Hi, I am using 2 worksheets tabs. I have the data entered monthly for 30 items and each for 7 years, and listed horizontally on the 1st sheet. I wanted to link the cells on the second sheet by item & month to the first sheet; however, I need to have them listed vertically while still remaining linked to their corresponding monthly cell. I have tried copy paste special link, and have tried to transpose, but it didn't work? Is this possible? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

this macro works if you assign it to a custom macro button on your toolbar. To use it, first copy the cells you want linked, then go to the other worksheet and click the button you assigned this macro to. It will then ask you to select the cell where you want the linked cells transposed to.

Sub TransposeLinks()
Dim SourceRange As Range
Dim TargetCell As Range
Dim i As Integer

    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.Paste Link:=True
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    Set SourceRange = Selection
    'Change all references to absolute
    SourceRange.Formula = Application.ConvertFormula(SourceRange.Formula, xlA1, xlA1, 1)

    On Error Resume Next
    Set TargetCell = Application.InputBox("Select Target Cell", "Tranpose Links", , , , , , 8)
    If Err <> 0 Then Exit Sub
    For i = 1 To SourceRange.Cells.Count
        TargetCell.Offset(0, i - 1).Formula = SourceRange.Cells(i, 1).Formula
    Next i
'
    If Intersect(SourceRange, Range(TargetCell, TargetCell.Offset(SourceRange.Cells.Count - 1))) Is Nothing Then SourceRange.Clear

End Sub

Transpose

Is there an easier way to use =transpose on the second worksheet, and copy and paste it across the 30+ items?

Try this: select the cells in the first worksheet and go to Insert -> Name -> Define. Give the range a name (no spaces allowed), for example name it MyRange. Then in the other worksheet, select the range you want to transpose it to (the number of columns should equal the number of rows in the original range). Then type in =Transpose(MyRange) and then press Ctrl +Shift + Enter.

Worked-- But

Thanks that worked except for 1 thing. On worksheet 1, there were certain months with NO DATA, and when you transpose, it put a ZERO value into the months that had NO DATA. The problem with this is, the new chart on Worksheet 2 is for statiscal analysis, and some of the formulas are picking up the new values of ZERO and altering the results because they are counting the ZERO's as an input. Any suggestions on how to not pick up the ZERO value for worksheet two, from the NO DATA information cells in Worksheet 1?

Thanks in advance,

The only way I can figure out to remove zeros is to put a space character into the empty cells in worksheet 1.
