FAQ
What's the difference between "down first" and "across first"?
"Down first" fills the entire first column top to bottom before moving to the next column (like a newspaper layout), while "across first" fills the first row left to right before moving to the next row.
What happens if the item count doesn't divide evenly into the columns?
The leftover cells are simply left blank in the result.
Can I paste the result into Excel or a spreadsheet?
Yes โ set the delimiter to "Tab" and copy the result; pasting it into Excel or a spreadsheet will automatically split it into separate cells.
