A) Hyperlink
B) Index
C) Transpose
D) Rows
The Transpose function in Excel is specifically designed to swap the orientation of data between rows and columns. It can:
- Convert a vertical range of cells (column) into a horizontal range (row)
- Convert a horizontal range of cells (row) into a vertical range (column)
This makes Transpose incredibly useful for rearranging data and adapting it to your desired format.
Here’s why the other options aren’t used for data transposition:
- A. Hyperlink: This function creates links to websites or other locations within the workbook. It doesn’t affect data arrangement.
- B. Index: This function is used to extract a specific value from a range based on its row and column position. While it can be used for data manipulation, it doesn’t directly transpose data.
- D. Rows: This function doesn’t directly manipulate data layout. It returns the number of rows in a reference.
