Collating Diagonally arranged output of Batch Macro into Tabular format

Hi All,

 

My batch macro after reading 4 files (with common rows (A,B,C,D) and different column name (2/1/2021, 2/2/2021, ...)) is outputting data diagonally as shown in worksheet "Data" in the attached shared excel file.

 

Name2/1/20212/2/20212/3/20212/4/2021
A1   
B2   
C3   
A 4  
B 5  
C 6  
D 7  
A  8 
B  9 
C  10 
A   11
B   12
C   13

 

I want to collate them into a single table as shown in worksheet "Desired Output" in the attached shared excel file.

 

Name2/1/20212/2/20212/3/20212/4/2021
A14811
B25912
C361013
D 7  

 

Can anyone suggest a best way to that???

Hi @Tej_Singh,

 

I took the data set from the post and created output for your:

Summarize tool works excellent here:

Thanks @

 

That was really quick. This really worked if the column names are the same. 🙂

 

I have another situation. I am running batch macro at the end of every month. Hence; if I have a situation where my column names in the next month output changes from 2/1/2021 to 3/1/2021,  2/2/2021 to 3/2/2021,   2/3/2021 to 3/3/2021,  2/4/2021 to 3/4/2021 then I guess summarize won't work.

 

Any suggestions how to deal with this situation?
