FormulaDescriptionResultExpectedVerdict
=TRANSPOSE(A1:C1) 1x3 horizontal row transposed into a 3x1 vertical column {1, 2, 3} {{1}, {2}, {3}} Matched
=TRANSPOSE(A1:C2) 2 rows x 3 columns transposed into 3 rows x 2 columns {1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6} {{1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}} Matched
=TRANSPOSE(A1) Degenerate 1x1 case: transposing a single cell yields the same single value {5} {{5}} Matched
=TRANSPOSE(A1:B1) A blank source cell transposes to 0, not an empty string, matching normal blank-cell-in-formula behavior {5, 0} {{5}, {0}}
B1 is left unset (blank); its transposed position reads back as 0		 Matched
