Reverse the order of a list

Post by agibsonsw »

Hello. Excel 2007.

I know that I can create a formula that reverses the order of a column of data. Does anyone have this example to hand?

(I know that the best way would be to sort it in Descending order?!) Thanks ,Andy.

Let's say your list is A2:A8.
In B2, enter the formula

=INDEX($A$2:$A$8,9-ROW())

Fill down to B8.
Best wishes,
Hans
