Correct me if I am wrong, so you want to paste column in another column but the issue you are facing is due to formulas being present

U172 to U179 are 8 values while C43 to O43 are 13

And as your description mentioned about the copy paste I will not be able to help you with the other question
Excelchat Expert 31/07/2018 - 08:13
I can provide hint that you will have to change your formula referencing from absolute to relative
User 31/07/2018 - 08:13
when the window pops up?
Excelchat Expert 31/07/2018 - 08:13
No, in the formula of the cells
User 31/07/2018 - 08:13
the cells i want to copy
User 31/07/2018 - 08:14
or paste into?
Excelchat Expert 31/07/2018 - 08:14
And for drag-drop you will have to share your excel else no one will be able to help
Excelchat Expert 31/07/2018 - 08:14
simple idea is to first drag when they are column to as many rows are you need and then transpose it
User 31/07/2018 - 08:15
