transposing values top to bottom

[Guest]

I know how to use the paste special transpose to move values, but need help
on this.

let's say I have these values in column A, starting at A1.

Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Delta

I want to re-arrange these values such that they go from Delta to Alpha in a
column,

Delta
Gamma
Beta
Alpha

Paste Special Transpose won't do this. Any ideas?

You could use a "helper" column where you number the adjacent cells 1 to 4.

Then, simply select both columns, and sort on the helper, descending.

Perhaps a formula would help
if your range is from A1:A4
and you need the values to appear say from B1:E1
then on B1 typr this and copy across thru E1

=OFFSET($A$4,2-COLUMN(),0)

Ted,

You can assign sequential numbers in an adjacent column and then sort the
numbers in descending order.
