How to interchange a column and row in a table (Transpose) in iWork Numbers?

Question

I want to transpose a table (interchange rows to columns and vice versa). How to do that in iWork Numbers.

Answer 1

The only way to do this seems to be via the INDEX and TRANSPOSE functions. See: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8799221

Answer 2

I wrote a simple AppleScript that does it.

tell application "Numbers"
    activate
    tell the front document
        tell the first sheet
            set original_range to selection range of first table

            set orignal_table to first table
            set number_of_columns to column count of orignal_table
            set number_of_rows to row count of orignal_table
            set trasposed_table to make new table with properties {row count:number_of_columns, column count:number_of_rows}

            repeat with i from 1 to number_of_columns
                repeat with j from 1 to number_of_rows
                    tell orignal_table
                        set original_value to the value of cell i of row j
                    end tell
                    tell trasposed_table
                        set the value of cell j of row i to original_value
                    end tell
                end repeat
            end repeat

        end tell
    end tell
end tell
