To convert multiple rows in a column to multiple columns and rows, you can use formulas by following steps:

Select a blank cell that you want to out put the first data of your list, says Cell C2, and enter this formula =OFFSET($A$1,(ROW()-2)*3+INT((COLUMN()-3)),MOD(COLUMN()-3,1)), then press Enter key to get the first data form list, then drag the autofill handle to the right cells you need, and then drag the autofill handle down to the cells until zero displayed. See screenshots:

Note:

This formula can be interpreted as

OFFSET($A$1,(ROW()-f_row)*rows_in_set+INT((COLUMN()-f_col)/col_in_set), MOD(COLUMN()-f_col,col_in_set))

And in the formula,

f_row is the row number of this formula

f_col is the column number of this formula

rows_in_set is the number of rows that make one record of data

col_in_set is the number of columns of the original data

You can change them as you need.


For some formula greener, the above formula maybe somewhat difficult, but do not worry, Kutools for Excel’s Transpose Range utility can help everyone to quickly convert multiple rows in a column to columns and rows easily.
