Macro to Transpose Rows to Columns

[drew1230]

Hey all,

I un-versed in VBA or any type of coding, for that matter, but it looks like formulas won't for what I'm attempting to do. I'm trying to transpose a variable number of cells in a row into columns right beneath the first column. I've already pre-inserted the required number of rows beneath each of the rows I'm trying to transpose.
I'm actually working with columns O to W (8 columns total)

I'm trying to get from...

a	b	c
1	2
aa	bb	cc	dd

<tbody>
</tbody>

to...

a	b	c
b
c
1	2
2
aa	bb	cc	dd
bb
cc
dd

<tbody>
</tbody>

Gotta do this for about 5,000 rows so any help would be appreciated! I can't imagine how many days this would take to finish manually.

Just an idea as a routine, even tho i would prefer a function but didn't thought about how to make it in a simple as this

Sub TransposeSys()
Dim i, j As Long
Dim Rng1, Rng2 As Range

Set Rng1 = Sheet1.Range("A1:C3")
Set Rng2 = Sheet1.Range("K9")
For i = 1 To Rng1.Rows.Count
For j = 1 To Rng1.Columns.Count
Rng2.Offset(j - 1, i - 1) = Rng1.Cells(i, j)
Next j
Next i
End Sub

Rng1 is the range to be transposed and rng2 is the top left range of the destiny range

Hi XonArgi,

I ran the code but the output is not contained in just one column, which is what I need. Each new set of transposed cells appears 3 columns to the right of the previous.

Instead of

a	b	c		a
				b
				c
1	2			1
				2
aa	bb	cc	dd	aa
				bb
				cc
				dd

<tbody>
</tbody>

I get

a	b	c		a			1			aa
				b			2			bb
				c						cc
1	2									dd
aa	bb	cc	dd

<tbody>
</tbody>

drew1230,

Welcome to the MrExcel forum.

Here is a macro solution for you to consider.

Sample raw data in the active worksheet:

Excel 2007
	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X
1	a	b	c	d	e	f	g	h	i
2	1	2	3	4	5	6
3	aa	bb	cc	dd
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
Sheet1

And, after the macro:

Excel 2007
	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X
1	a	b	c	d	e	f	g	h	i
2	b
3	c
4	d
5	e
6	f
7	g
8	h
9	i
10	1	2	3	4	5	6
11	2
12	3
13	4
14	5
15	6
16	aa	bb	cc	dd
17	bb
18	cc
19	dd
20
Sheet1

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

1. Copy the below code
2. Open your NEW workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.

Sub TransposeRowsToColumn()
' hiker95, 04/18/2016, ME935668
Dim r As Long, lr As Long, lc As Long, n As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveSheet
  lr = .Cells(Rows.Count, "O").End(xlUp).Row
  For r = lr To 1 Step -1
    lc = .Cells(r, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    n = lc - 15
    .Rows(r + 1).Resize(n).Insert
    .Cells(r + 1, 15).Resize(n).Value = Application.Transpose(.Range(.Cells(r, 16), .Cells(r, lc)).Value)
  Next r
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Before you use the macro with Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension .xlsm, and, answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.

Then run the TransposeRowsToColumn macro.

Is this that you're looking for then?

Sub TransposeSys()
Dim i As Long
Dim Rng1 As Range

Set Rng1 = Sheet1.Range("G5:L5")

With Rng1
For i = 1 To .Columns.Count
Rng1.Cells(1, 1).Offset(i - 1, 0) = Rng1.Cells(1, i)
Next i
End With
End Sub

Rng1 is the row in wich you will get the values to use for first column

So, just to be clear:
I've already pre-inserted the required number of rows beneath each of the rows I'm trying to transpose.
I'm actually working with columns O to W (8 columns total)

Try this:

Sub a935668a()
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = Range("O" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).row To 1 Step -1
  If Range("O" & i) <> "" Then
  j = Rows(i).Find("*", SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column - 14
  Cells(i, "O").Resize(j, 1).Value = Application.Transpose(Cells(i, "O").Resize(1, j).Value)
  End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Yes! This worked like a charm. Thanks Akuini.

And thanks to everyone else for your time and efforts.

drew1230,

Have you even tried my macro in my reply #4?

Hi. I recently came upon this thread and was hoping to apply this same Macro but haven't had much success. i'm trying to transpose the rows into columns. i have already inserted the number of columns needed for each row. there are over 17,000 rows and each category has a different value for rates.
