Transposing many vertical records into horizontal records

[Excel Chimp]

Hi all. I read this post by Bill Jelen explaining how to do this for a one record: Spreadsheets: The Vertical-Horizontal Flip

In my case, I have a record containing 10 items arranged vertically in one column. The records repeat, so record two is rows 11-20 and so on. I can't figure out how to make a solution to transpose multiple records using formulas.

Help is appreciated!

That's correct. The 1-6 repeats many times, thought, so I need a more robust solution than just copy, paste special, transpose.

Excel Chimp,

Would you be interested in a macro solution?

Excel Chimp,

Sure. I'd prefer a formula based solution, but maybe it's not possible. Thanks for replying.

Excel Chimp,

So that we can get it right on the first try:

We would like more information. Please see the Forum Use Guidelines in the following link:

See reply #2 at the next link, if you want to show small screenshots, of the raw data, and, what the results should look like.

for data every n rows in column A:A from row 1 down
formula in C1: =INDEX($A:$A,(ROW()-1)*10+COLUMN()-2)

if the destination is a different column then the last number is 1 less than the column number
that is, my example with column C gives -2 at the end of the formula
but if you wanted results in column E, the formula would end in -4
