Hi :) I'm not completely sure why you are trying to do this. Context could be useful.
Maybe what you are looking for is something involving Edit - "Paste Special" - tick the "transpose" box For example if cell B1 = 1 C1 = 2 D1 = 3 E1 = 4 then you can select B1-E1, (Ctrl c or another way to copy), click on cell A2 and then doing Edit - "Paste Special" - transpose gives A2 = 1 A3 = 2 A4 = 3 A5 = 4 If you extend that idea so that B2 = B1 C2 = C1 D2 = D1 E2 = E1 and then select B2-E2, cut (or copy), click in A2 and then do Edit - PasteSpecial - transpose then A2 = B1 A3 = C1 A4 = D1 A5 = E1 It's not very elegant! It's worth knowing that if you click a cell and don't try to drag the selection just use any scrolling method to get to the end of the line and then Shift click then everything between the previous cell you clicked on and the new one all gets selected. Also if you click on the first cell and then use Shift Ctrl keyboard-arrow then it takes you to where it thinks the end of the line is. You might need to press the keyboard arrow a few more times without lifting your finger(s) from Shift Ctrl to get to the real end. To adjust by 1 cell at a time try Shift keyboard-arrow There might be some other way that is more elegant. I'd be tempted to go via a text-editor because it might be faster in some cases. It risks losing formulas though so it might not be at all suitable for your case. In the spreadsheet program do File - "Save As..." - csv maybe right-click on the csv to open in a text-editor such as Notepad or GEdit or Kate or Leafpad or something and do "Find (or search) and replace" to change all the commas into newline characters. Hmmm, ok so the transpose method is probably more elegant than that!!
