While working with excel, we need to switch or rotate cells. You can do this by copying, pasting, and using the Transpose option. But doing that creates duplicated data. If you don’t want that, you can type a formula instead using the TRANSPOSE function. For example, in the following picture the formula =TRANSPOSE (A1:B4) takes the cells A1 through B4 and arranges them horizontally.
