# Transpose Rows to Columns in Dynamic Matrix (Angular)

A Dynamic Matrix Table enables users to add new matrix entries at runtime. In the default layout, these entries are added as dynamic matrix rows. If you prefer to create dynamic columns instead, you can adjust the form layout by transposing matrix rows to columns. To rotate the layout in a Dynamic Matrix, enable the [`transposeData`](https://surveyjs.io/form-library/documentation/api-reference/dynamic-matrix-table-question-model#transposeData) property.
