Rotate table by 90 degree

To rotate a table anticlockwise in 90 degrees, you can do as below steps:

1. Select the table and press Ctrl + C keys to copy the table data, select a blank cell and right click to display the context menu, and then click Paste Special > Transpose. See screenshot:

doc rotate table 3

2. Then in the next column of the transposed table, type a series of numbers as below screenshot shown.
doc rotate table 4

3. Then select the data including the series of numbers and click Date > Sort. See screenshot:
doc rotate table 5

4． In the Sort dialog, select the series number column in Sort by list, and choose Values and Largest to Smallest in next two lists. See screenshot:
doc rotate table 6

5. Click OK, then the table has been anti-clockwise rotated by 90 degrees, you can remove the helper column then. See screenshot:
doc rotate table 7

Note: If you want to clockwise rotate table by 90 degrees, just transpose paste the data first, and add a helper row under the data. See screenshot:
doc rotate table 8

Then in the Sort dialog, click Options in Sort dialog, and check Sort left to right in Sort Options.
doc rotate table 9

Then continue to select the row with series numbers and sort data Largest to Smallest, and click OK. See screenshot:
doc rotate table 10

The table has been clockwise rotated by 90 degrees.

Rotate table by 180 degrees with formula

If you want to anti-clockwise rotate a table by 180 degrees, you can define a name then apply a formula.

1. Select the table you want to use, go to the Name box to give it a name. See screenshot:
doc rotate table 12

2. Create a new sheet, select the cell A1 in the new sheet, type this formula =OFFSET(myrng,ROWS(myrng)-ROW(),COLUMNS(myrng)-COLUMN(),), myrng is the range name you give in step 1, press Shift + Ctrl + Enter keys, and then drag the fill handle over cells to fill all the table data. See screenshot:

No, No. I just want to rotate all the cells in a block of Excel cells in the same way you would rotate an image in a graphics program using the Scale tool, as in FireWorks CS 5.5.

I know I will have to redo my text because it will be upside down but that's no problem if I can keep the rotated cell size and its properties after rotating it.

I did a layout of a retail store which took a long time to put together but put the back of the store at the top of the page, and wish to have the back of the store layout at the bottom of the sheet. I can't do it will Kutools because even during the trial, it won't let me do this rotate feature without buying a whole version : ((

So much for Try before you buy : (

Hi Sunny,

I probably should have been more specific.

In my store map, I have various Excel cells expanding various lengths, vertically and horizontally.
That's why I recevied the Kutools error basically saying I can't turn your store map 180 degrees because you have merged cells expanding various lengths, vertically and horizontally.

I don't have an account here by if you e-mail me at I can send you a copy of my Excell store map.

Mike

I think I need something more advanced. I have put together a map of my local Home Depot store using an Excel worksheet.
The problem is that the front of the Store is on top when I want to create a version where the front of the store is at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

I need something that will freeze a box of Excell data cells and then rotate them 180 degrees so the Front of the Store is now located at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Hi, Mike, in my opinion, you may want to reverse the column data and keep column header like the screenshot below shown.https://www.extendoffice.com/images/stories/comments/sun-comment/flip.png
If so, this article can help you. How To Flip / Reverse A Column Of Data Order Vertically In Excel?

I added a row of ascending numbers above my data. Then I added descending numbers above where I wanted the 180 transposed data. I used an HLOOKUP to the existing array to achieve the same results as above. I found this a lot more simple. Hope it helps.

I added ascending numbers in a row above my data, and adding descending numbers above where I want the new information. I used an HLOOKUP to the existing data array, to achieve the same results. I found this more simple than the explanation above.
