How to Convert Vertical List to Horizontal or Vice Versa in Excel?
Have you ever tried to convert a vertical list to a horizontal list, or vice versa, in Excel? Manually doing this can be time-consuming because we must type data into each cell and each new cell. We can complete this task in a faster and simpler way by using the paste special function.
Read this tutorial to learn how you can convert a vertical list to a horizontal list in Excel and vice versa. The lists that are represented in vertical and horizontal ways are known as "vertical lists" and "horizontal lists," respectively.

Now, select the range of cells you want to convert to horizontal format and copy the data with CTRL + C.
Select data > CTRL + C
Step 2
Then click on an empty cell where you want to put your horizontal list and right-click, then click on "Paste special" and again click on "Paste special" as shown in the below image to open a pop-up window.
Empty cell > Right click > Paste special > Paste special
Step 3
