I am using Excel 2016
and I have a data set with 492 rows and no headers. Data starts at Cell A1
.
An extract of the data set looks like this:
I want to transpose this data set so that it becomes into this format:
I am new to VBA
and I am having a hard time finding the right solution. I have tried recording the transpose as a Macro
(step by step) and viewed the VBA
codes but I still can't make it come together.
Try this code, but before you do adjust the two constants at the top to match the facts on your worksheet. The worksheet with the data must be active when the code is executed.
Sub TransposeData()
Const FirstDataRow As Long = 2 ' presuming row 1 has headers
Const YearColumn As String = "A" ' change as applicable
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Arr As Variant, Pos As Variant
Dim Rl As Long, Cl As Long
Dim R As Long, C As Long
Dim i As Long
With ActiveSheet
Cl = .UsedRange.Columns.Count - .UsedRange.Column + 1
Rl = .Cells(.Rows.Count, Columns(YearColumn).Column).End(xlUp).Row
Set Rng = Range(.Cells(FirstDataRow, YearColumn), .Cells(Rl, Cl))
End With
Arr = Rng.Value
ReDim Pos(1 To (UBound(Arr) * UBound(Arr, 2)), 1 To 2)
For R = 1 To UBound(Arr)
For C = 2 To UBound(Arr, 2)
i = i + 1
Pos(i, 1) = Arr(R, 1)
Pos(i, 2) = Arr(R, C)
Next C
Next R
R = Rl + 5 ' write 5 rows below existing data
Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Cells(R, YearColumn).Resize(i, 2)
Rng.Value = Pos
End Sub
