excel - I am working with pipe delimited files which go off my screen horizontally. I wish to pivot the data so that each horizontal line becomes a column -


i working pipe delimited files go off screen horizontally. wish pivot data each horizontal line displayed vertically. solution in ms-excel work, or dedicated text-editor (such "ultraedit," "notepad++" or "sublime text" work)

for example, original pipe-delimited file is: how it's showing now...

i want shown, so: how wan tit show...

i want able edit these fields, , save file in original horizontally formatted file started off with. focus on being able see line numbers, making fields easier edit.

i have tried using excel , opens file , places each element in original format within cell, within 3 rows, horizontally. need "names, "fruits" , "cars" turned columns, not rows.

thank you!

this easy in 2 steps.

  1. select column data , use text columns in data tab of ribbon: selecting 'delimeted' , 'other' , entering pipe character.

  2. copy resulting range , right-click cell want transposed data go. select 'paste special' , check transpose box. click ok.

that's it.
