Transpose several columns to one long column

[sofast1651]

I have 999 columns in a worksheet, each with 8 rows. The data in the first
column, A1-A8 are data points 1-8. Then, the data in column B1-B8 are data
points 9-16..etc. I can't find a command to transpose all 999x8rows of data
into one extremely long column with the data points in the order they were
taken, 1, 2, 3, ...998, 999. Any insight?

You have a typo or I am mis-understanding.

8 rows of number 1-999 would be 999/8 = 125 columns

Whatever the case this macro from Bernie Dietrick will give you one column.

If you really have 999x8 rows columns. it will take a while.
