I've got a text file of data I need to get into escel. Problem is, it has 42,881 columns in it (and only 12 rows)

If I could transpose it, Excel would be fine, but I can't get it in in the first place as the max number of columns is 16,384.

Any suggestions how to do it?

I could regenerate the data in 3 seperate text files, but that will take days. 🙁

Copy, right click, paste special, check the "transpose" box.

problem with the direct transpose command is the data is too big to get in in the fiorst place.

Think I've found a solution in the text editor allowing me to block select...
