If there are two rows full of data (Row 1 & 2) and I would like to move it to populate two columns (A & B), is that possible in Excel? I thought there was a feature or maybe copy/paste special, but didn't find it.
Thanks,

You can do this by copy/paste special/transpose

But, if you have formulas in there, their may be some problems with reference...

Yes copy/paste special>...check the transpose box
 
Thank you.
That is exactly what I needed. Any ideas why Microsoft chose the word "transpose"? Maybe I just keep thinking of transposing music.
