Hi Team,

 

I have a data received like below (Example: Before Table) and i need to rearrange the file in a different order (Example: After Table). Please help me to solve this and kindly note that we cannot filter each filename and arrange the files in the below mentioned order since there may have more than 10 'FileNames' in a data.

 

Before:

FileNameProductAmount
ABCSoap$230
DEFChocolate$450
GHIShampoo$300

 

After:

FileNameProductAmount FileNameProductAmount FileNameProductAmount
ABCSoap$230 DEFChocolate$450 GHIShampoo$300

Alteryx doesn't like columns with the same name, but this is the structure you are looking for. If you are writing to a spreadsheet we can make the duplicate column names in the output using a batch macro.

If you want to output to excel with duplicate column names and null names for separating columns this solution will work as well.

Hi @griffinwelsh

 

Thank you for the solution. This iterative Macro works on my project. :)
