Breaking a column into multiple columns (category, sub-category, etc.)

Hi,

 

I have a financial data that has categories and sub categories in one single column - let's say Revenue as category, and multiple sub-categories for it. The total revenue represents the total of this sub-categories. Now, I would like to Have column 1 that has Revenue as its values for all the rows, and Column 2 that has those sub-categories as values.

 

Changing:

Revenue 
Sales Product 11000
Sales Product 22000
Total Revenue3000
Costs 
Cost 1-500
Cost 2-900
Total Cost-1400

 

 

To:

RevenueSales Product 11000
RevenueSales Product 22000
RevenueTotal Revenue3000
CostsCost 1-500
CostsCost 2-900
CostsTotal Cost-1400

 

 

Or even better, to:

 

Revenue Sales Product 11000
Revenue Sales Product 22000
RevenueTotal Revenue 3000
Costs Cost 1-500
Costs Cost 2-900
CostsTotal Cost -1400

 

Any help to do this in Alteryx, or should I do it in Excel?

 

Many thanks,

Dan

Dear @QuestAlt 

 

please find the workflow ... I hope this is what you want. I use multi-row formula to give remarks "Revenue" and "Cost"
