How to combine transpose function and If statement function in Excel?

Author Sun Last modified

In Excel, transposing a range or using the IF function individually is straightforward, but have you ever tried combining both? This article demonstrates how to use the IF and Transpose functions together. For example, if the count of cells meets a specified number, we’ll apply a transpose operation, as shown in the screenshot below.

There is a formula that can quickly handle this task.

Select 7 contiguous cells in a row where you want to display the transposed data, then paste this formula =IF(COUNT($A:$A)=7,TRANSPOSE($A:$A),"") into the formula bar, and press Shift + Ctrl + Enter keys simultaneously.

In the formula, A:A is the column you want to transpose, 7 is the number of values you want to count.

Note: The formula =IF(COUNT($A:$A)=7,TRANSPOSE($A:$A),"") will transpose Column A if there are only 7 number cells in Column A. For transposing Column A if there are only 7 cells with text string, please apply this formula =IF(COUNTA($A:$A)=7,TRANSPOSE($A:$A),"").
