What is the best practice to switch the columns and rows in a range in Excel?
If you are working with an Excel file with lots of headings stacked horizontally, it gets clumsy to read or edit. To switch the columns and rows in Excel, you have to either use paste options in the program or go with a formula as explained in this guide.
How can I change columns to rows in Excel?
1. Use paste and Transpose
2. Use the Transpose function in a formula
