When I import a .csv file in Calc, I get a row of cells instead but I would prefer a column. I know there is a simple command to take a row and make it a column and vice versa but I don't know what it is. Would someone please tell me what the command is?

As so often, Paste Special comes to your rescue.

o  Select the relevant row or the range of cells in it.
o  Cut the contents.
o Click the column header of the destination column (or the first cell of the destination range). o Go to Edit | Paste Special... (or right-click | Paste Special... or Ctrl+Shift+V).
o  Under Options, tick Transpose and click OK.

|Incidentally, you cannot do the reverse with a complete column - since columns are longer than rows are wide. But you can do it with a range within a column.

I trust this helps.
