Toolbar buttons

[Guest]

Is it possible to create a button on a toolbar for 'Transpose' to save me
going through 'paste special' each time.

Liz,

Copy the macro below into your Personal.xls, then add a custom toolbar button and assign it the
macro.

When you want to transpose a range, copy it, select the destination anchor cell, and press your
custom button.

Sub PasteTranspose()
If Application.CutCopyMode Then _
Selection.PasteSpecial Transpose:=True
End Sub

Thanks very much.

I don't think I have a Personal.xls file. Do I need to set one up, or can
it run from within a workbook template instead?

Liz,

It would be much better from within Personal.xls, since it would be available at any time and be
available within any workbook.

You should set one up. Simply start the macro recorder, and select the option to store the macro in
"Personal macro workbook" Excel will take care of creating it for you. Then store the previous code
in that workbook, through the VB Editor.

Thanks very much for your reply. I'll try it out. I've always been a bit
wary of macros and avoided them, but maybe I have to start using them!

There's no reason to be wary of macros, and no reason to avoid
them. Once you become even a bit proficient with VBA, you'll find
that a whole new world of Excel opens up.

Many thanks for your help with the macro for Transpose. I've managed to get
it into my personal.xls and it works wonderfully!
