data = Range[60];

Partition[data, 12]

Hello Friends,

I have a fundamental question.

Given a long List of elements (say 60 elements). How do I break this
to an m-by-n MatrixForm (say 5-by-12).

It's kinda basic and I already feel silly asking the question. Simple
things do elude big brains sometimes. Any idea?

Thankx.
