Can you extend a formula horizontally while the data is vertical

[Guest]

I am trying to link a data from another worksheet and extend that formula to
the right. However the data on that other worksheet is vertical not
horizontal. Is there a way for a link to extend horizontally from a vertical
data table? I can not change the orientation of the data.

Hi Shannon,
How about Transpose, depending on your data and what
you are actually copying.

see Help, Transpose rows to columns or columns to rows

Hi Dave,
Problem is I am not copying, I am hitting the "=" button and creating a
formula reference to another tab, so Transpose is not a option. I asked
someone here and they thought about some "Rotate" function. Does Rotate
exist?

Thanks

Sheet1 has the data in Column A

Enter this formula in Sheet2 A1

=INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,COLUMN()) drag/copy across row 1.

Note: a sheet has 256 columns so you're limited.
