  1. I have 2 tables of data for example:
    8 16 37 50 62
    13 22 44 53 64
    5 17 36 46 75
    3 28 42 47 71

    in one table and:
    7 26 35 57 66
    2 24 37 59 63
    3 29 44 58 70
    14 27 43 51 64

    in the other, how can I check if the REVERSE of any numbers are in the same row? For example, how can I make sure that 62 isn't in the same row as 26?

  2. Hello,
    Thank you so much!
    This was very helpful!

  3. Many, many thanks. This tutorial has saved me a lot of faffing and time. Don't think I would have worked this out without some help as the method is not what you would call intuitive. Nonetheless, it's very easy when you know how. Now I do to. Cheers.

  4. Thanks

  6. Thanks a lot for this nice post

  7. Thank you for the Index(range, Rows(range)) trick! Worked perfectly.

  8. good article - might i offer another elegant, quick way to flip the rows ie horizontal flip?

    Transpose the data (copy - paste special - transpose)
    use your method for flipping columns - i.e. the numbers and a sort

    Transpose the data back again

  9. hello and thanks,
    have you the function version of both pls?
    thanks again!

  10. Thanks.

  11. Thanks Roman, that was an extremely easy way to flip horizontally, took seconds.

  12. To flip horizontally, you can also simply transpose first, then sort A-Z (if necessary add column with numbers first to use to), then transpose back. Done.

    1. excelent solution

    2. Hi Roman,

      Wonderful idea, thank you for sharing! Hope you won't mind that I included this method in the tutorial and included a few visuals to better convey the steps. Just one caveat: if the source data contains formulas, they may get broken during the transpose process.

  13. Thank you so much. This is a life saver! I being searching for a solution like this nearly for an hour now. Thank you again!
