This macro reverses the order of a selected row or column in excel. It will completely reverse the data.
This is different than using the data > sort or filter commands because those will re-arrange the columns or rows. This macro will completely mirror a column or row in terms of the data. The one thing to remember is that it will not work for an entire row or column, but only one cell less than the entire row or column.
To use it, simply select a range of cells in one row or one column and then run the macro. Since it cannot work on multiple columns or rows at once, it is advised to assign this macro to a keyboard shortcut or a toolbar button in excel.
Public Sub Reverse_Rows_or_Columns()
'This Macro will reverse a selection of rows or columns.
'Note: you cannot select an etire row or column, but one
'cell less than that will work fine.
'Don't forget to assign this macro a keyboard shortcut or
'a toolbar button.
