The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 4.0
  • Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SUMMARY

On page 163 of the version 4.0 "Microsoft Excel User's Guide 1," the array formula 

   {=TRANSPOSE({1,2,3:"A","B","C"})}
is incorrect. The colon(:) should be a semicolon(;). The appropriate row separator for an array is a semicolon. This information is stated in the second paragraph on page 159 of the version 4.0 "Microsoft Excel User's Guide 1."
