  2. Leave a blank line
  3. Paste the delimited text below
  4. Run the tool to transpose it
  5. Review the flipped output

Common mistakes in sample input

Using more than one character as the delimiter

Fix: Use a single-character delimiter such as ; | : or ,.

Uneven row lengths create blank cells

Fix: Check the original structure because shorter rows will produce empty values.

Choosing the wrong delimiter

Fix: Make sure the source data really uses the delimiter you entered.
