Splitting data into two columns

Hi all,

 

I've my initial data like this

Application - Application Programming Language
1 = C#
2 = Java
3 = JavaScript
4 = VisualBasic .NET
5 = PHP
6 = C++
7 = COBOL
8 = PL/SQL
9 = Perl
10 = Ruby
11 = Python
12 = ColdFusion
13 = Other
0 = Don't Know

 

I want to transform it into the following format

Application - Application Programming LanguageApplication - Application Programming Language
1C#
2Java
3JavaScript
4VisualBasic .NET
5PHP
6C++
7COBOL
8PL/SQL
9Perl
10Ruby
11Python
12ColdFusion
13Other
0Don't Know

 

Note: The initial dataset has only one record for all the values; the output data is all in different rows. I know this would be done using the transform, text-to-columns and the cross-tab tool but have not been able to do it.

 

Thanks,

Rajat

@rajatsaxena2105 Let me know if the attached is what you're looking for. I used a text to columns tool and a regex tool to mix it up.

@rajatsaxena2105 See if the attached gets you pointed in the right direction. I've used a transpose at the beginning and then crosstab the data back at the end. The columns aren't quite in the right order at the end.
