4. While working with excel, we need to switch or rotate cells. Youcan do this by copying,
pasting, and using the Transpose option. But doing that creates duplicated data. Ifyou don't
want that, you can type aformula instead using the TRANSPOSE function. For example, in
the following picture the formula =TRANSPOSE(A1:B4) takes the cells Al through B4 and
arranges them horizontally.
