| Select all the numbers in a row and copy. Click into a vacant column then Edit > Paste Special and check Transpose. |

Attached doc (Transpose variable columns of data.ods) shows one way using a formula in column M that refers to three helper formulae in columns J, K and L.
The helper formula in column J has a zero included in the cell above.
If the data includes text (see 2nd sheet) then the SUMPRODUCT formula replaces the COUNT formula.

I already know this. What i wanted is to automatically copy all the columns into a single columns instead of manually copying each rows and then transposing |

Hi, your solution worked like a wonder. I am using text and number sheet. But what should i do to increase the columns? I have more than 121 columns... |

InputRange = name of the incoming cell range
Other sheet:
A1: 1
A2: =$A1+($B2=$C2)
B2: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A1;$A1)
C2: =COUNT(INDEX(InputRange;$A1))
D1: 1
D2: =IF($A2=$A1;$D1+1;1)
E1: =INDEX(InputRange;$A1;$D1)
Copy E1 to E2
Copy down the formulas in row #2 until you get errors in E.

Maybe have the formulae on another sheet.
See attached (Transpose many columns of data.ods)...
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?pxylrjq4pyxxtqe
Formulae on other sheet can handle data in up to column EZ (column 156) and down to row 500 on the Text and Numbers sheet.
If you have more than 500 rows you will need to change the 500s in the formula in 'Transposed Columns'.B2 to a greater number of rows...
IF(ROW(B2)-ROW(B$2)>=SUMPRODUCT('Text and Numbers'.$A$2:$EZ$500<>"");"";MATCH(ROW(B2)-ROW(B$2);$A$1:$A$500))
[SUMPRODUCT, being an array formula, is very slow when given a large range of cells to process]
