    @sjn7220 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Cool trick! I have to do this quite often but have always used =index(array, column(A1)+(row(A1)-1)*3). Column and row can be switched whether you're destacking vertically or horizontally (and 3 would change depending on the group size). At first I had to always think it out but now it is so ingrained in my head it comes out somewhat naturally.

    Brilliant! Another, similar trick I learned was to disguise formulae if you want to copy a large block of cells with formulae that don't have absolute references, but where you *don't* want the references to change when you copy. Select the range, do +H to Find "=" and Replace with "%%"; copy the range to where you want it, then reverse the Find and Replace to put them back to formulae preceded by "=". I need to do this so often, that I've put the two stages into macros, triggered by buttons on my customised ribbon.

    What an awesome way to unstack data! I got your notification on this when I was about 10% through unstacking over 1000 rows of imported text. I saw the other ways but I was spending too much time configuring and not getting work done. Your way ISN'T the lazy way but the most productive way that I've seen. 1574 rows done in under a minute. Thank you, thank you and thank you.
