Transpose Rows & Columns
Flip a table on its side so rows become columns and columns become rows. Useful when a field-per-row export needs to read across the top instead, or when a wide table would be easier to work with tall. Paste data or drop in a file.
A transpose tool flips a table on its side, turning rows into columns and columns into rows. Paste your data or drop a CSV or Excel file, and the first column becomes the header row while each row becomes a column, so it works to transpose Excel rows to columns or switch a table from tall to wide. The value at row 3, column 2 moves to row 2, column 3, and running it twice returns the original. It runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
- What exactly does transposing do?
- It swaps the two axes of the table. The value at row 3, column 2 moves to row 2, column 3, so what read down a column now reads across a row. Run it twice and you are back where you started, which makes it easy to undo.
- When is transposing useful?
- When the shape of the data fights the tool using it. A report with one metric per row is hard to chart, but transposed into one metric per column it lines up for a pivot or a graph. It also rescues exports that came out tall when you needed them wide.
- What if my rows have different lengths?
- Shorter rows are padded with blank cells so the result stays a clean rectangle. Nothing is lost; the gaps simply show where a row had fewer values than the longest one.
