Horizontal/Column filtering in Excel? Should be simple
up vote

In Excel it is straight forward to apply a filter on a column (mark the region of interest, klick on data>filter). This way you get the handy option to show the content corresponding to, e.g., a value by a "simple click".
For example, say a I have the weekdays repeating over and over in one column and various data in the other columns. By the filtering described above, I can, with a click, show rows corresponding to, say, mondays only.
If we call the filtering described above vertical, how do I accomplish horizontal filtering in the same simplistic manner?
It should be very simple, but I cannot find any way to do this. Annoying!

Another way would be to use Transpose function in an array form. Steps as follows:
1. Select your destination area first.
2. In the formula box type following: "=Transpose(source)"
3. Instead of hitting enter, you must hit ctrl+shift+enter.
What step 3 does is create an array type that links to your source data. This is similar to copy/paste link except it transposes the data, at which point you just filter as usual.
If done properly your code may look like this:
{=TRANSPOSE(A1:Z100)}
In every single destination cell.
