Anyone know a shortcut in MS Excel that switches rows of data into columns of data?

Currently looks like:

A B C B E ... and so on
10 11 12 13 14

Want it to look like

A 10
B 11
C 12
D 13
E 14

Please don't suggest cut&paste as that will take forever!

Yup, paste special, transpose.

It isn't going to change that second B into a D though

Nope - Pivot tables take the A,B,C as fields and only allow one field per column.

Now sorted however - a clever at work pointed out the Excel feature. Highlight the two rows, copy, click outside the copy area, paste special, check the 'transpose' box, OK. Job done!

Thanks for the transpose tips everyone.

Also for pointing out typos.
Also for the cut&paste sarcasm.
