I'm struggling a little bit with transposing (see example below). Thought I had a ssimple approach but that was definitely not a good approach ;o)) I tried:
=TRANSPOSE(MOD(COLUMN(C1:AL1)-4;7)=0)
With Control+Shift+Enter
I also experimented with INDEX combined with MOD to skip the blanks and only get the numbers. No succes.

Bottom-line, I want to transpose the values in row 1 from horizontal to vertical in column A. As you can see there are always six empty cells that I want to skip when I go from horizontal to vertical. Any Ideas would be very welcome?

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
How about this?

=IF(MOD(COLUMN()-3,7)=0,INDEX($A$2:$A$7,COUNT($B$2:B2)+1),"")

Perhaps I explained myself badly. The original values, horizontal in row 1 (C1:AL1) have to be transposed to column A (A2:A7) vertical. Your formula just puts them in row 2 (C2:AL2) as far as i can see. That could be achieved with a simpel copy and paste but that is not what I'm looking for. Or am I missing something?

Always looking for shorter formulas because the longer they get I lose track and it's more difficult to comprehend for me. I use a lot of F9 to understand what is going on. I fiddled around and came up with this formula which also seems to do the job.
FORMULA in A2 copy down:
Excel Formula:
=OFFSET($C$1,0,(ROWS($A$1:$A1)-1)*7)

I would be a little careful in choosing a formula simply because of its length. For example, the formula you have used in post #5 uses the volatile function OFFSET which may have a negative performance impact on your worksheet.
What about this equally simple, and non-volatile, alternative?
