microsoft excel - 1 long column split to multiple columns


I have 1 long column in an excel sheet. I want to split that 1 column into multiple columns.


The multiple column split should happen after every 10 entries. So if there are a total 80 cells in my original column I want them to be split into 8 columns each having 10 cells.


I am not well-versed in VBA so I won't be able to follow hints, but I might me able to modify a sample code.


My Question Begins Now


I have searched SU and found this topic How to Split one column in Excel into multiple columns of 55 rows


It has the following command


=INDIRECT("Sheet1!R" & (COLUMN()-1)*55+MOD(ROW()-1,55)+1 & "C1", FALSE)

I modified it to


=INDIRECT("Sheet1!R" & (COLUMN()-1)*10+MOD(ROW()-1,10)+1 & "C1", FALSE)

I understand the first parameter to INDIRECT should be the source where I want to pick the value from so it should be of the format "Sheet1!RnnnCnnn" where 'nnn' are the row and column numbers.


Can someone please explain what is happening in the following:


"Sheet1!R" & (COLUMN()-1)*10+MOD(ROW()-1,10)+1 & "C1"

Thanks.



Answer



"Sheet1!R" & (COLUMN()-1)*10+MOD(ROW()-1,10)+1 & "C1"
Sheet1 to read from sheet1 R & (column()-1)*10 is the reference where to read in which row of the initial column it should give you the column where the formula is -1 multiplied by 10 plus the remainder of the division by 10 of the row number if your formula is in row 1 column 2 in the new sheet, it should read:
Sheet1!R(2-1)*10+Mod(1-1,10)+1 & C1
=Sheet1!R11C1
it means to read the value in Row 11 in sheet1 column 1 and when you drag the formula down 10 times it will read the following value (next row) in the same column of sheet 1 and whenever you reach the row 10 you should move to the next column first row and write the same formula again.
Notice that C1 is fixed because you are reading from the first column, but the row is moving that is why it needs to be calculated in a way to be divided by 10, so all this formula is to calculate which row to read from the first column of sheet 1 and it depends of the column where the formula is.
The Excel MOD function
returns the remainder of a division between two supplied numbers. The syntax of the MOD function is: MOD( number, divisor )
where the arguments are as follows:
number - The number to be divided.
divisor - The value that the number argument is divided by.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...
