Have four columns: Book Title, Author, Cost, and ISBM instead of presenting them in a column fromat would like to preset them as follows
Title Title Title
Author Author Author
Cost Cost Cost
ISBN ISBN ISBN

Title Title Title
Author Author Author
Cost Cost Cost
ISBN ISBN ISBN
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
If A1:D3 contains...

{"Title1","Author1","Cost1","ISBN1"
;"Title2","Author2","Cost2","ISBN2"
;"Title3","Author3","Cost3","ISBN3"}

Select cells A5:C8 and enter the array formula...

{=TRANSPOSE(A1:D3)}

...to produce...

{"Title1","Title2","Title3"
;"Author1","Author2","Author3"
;"Cost1","Cost2","Cost3"
;"ISBN1","ISBN2","ISBN3"}

Note: Array formulas must be entered using the Control+Shift+Enter key combination. The outermost braces, { }, are not entered by you -- they're supplied by Excel in recognition of a properly entered array formula.

Thanks Mark W.,
I'm new to excel and am learning to sort and format files I dumped from a dos based database. A couple of things I think I should be able to do:
- Pull out various abbreviations from title and author fields and place in a separate col (Did sort for various different codes, each with its own col and left the abbreviations in the original field).
-Make the data that's interesting to various clients look pretty / presentation.
I intend latter to learn about Access, transfer my excel work to Access and then use Access to go Web.
What are the features of excel I should learn first and can you recommend some tutorials ("smart people" resources)?
