i have written some values in column i want to make it in reverse order ....

+2  A: 
  1. Insert a column next to the column you want to sort
  2. From the top cell in the new column, add 1 to the first cell, 2 to the 2nd cell, etc. until you reach the bottom cell.
  3. Select both your original column and the new numbered column
  4. Go to Data > Sort
  5. Sort by the new column, descending.
  6. You're done!

NOTE: If you want to know how to do this using VBA code, please specify as such in your quesiton. Otherwise, this answers your question and it really belongs on superuser.com

You could add an extra column which numbers 1,2,3,.... N. Next you use this column to sort the area that includes your data in reverse order (descending).

+1  A: 

Suppose you want to invert the range E1:E6 and place the inverted list in range F1:F6.

Enter this array formula in F1. (This is an array formula so you must press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)

=OFFSET($E$1:$E$6,MAX(ROW($F$1:$F$6))-ROW(),0)

Then select the entire F1:F6 range, and use Fill Down (Home tab / Editing) to copy this formula down into all the cells in the range F1:F6.
