Consolidating columns from wide to long format

Hello Alteryx experts - hoping you can help solve my problem.

 

My data looks like this:

And to make it user friendly for Tableau, I need to consolidate the Groups into one column, while separating out their percentages in another. 

 

The ideal output would be:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi @drewh

 

I remember when I started using Tableau, didn't have Alteryx and had to do this in Excel.. painful!! Luckily you have Alteryx and it's one tool solution! The magical transpose!

Hi, 

 

to do this, just use a Transpose tool (in summarize category), it should do the job.

 

Hope it helped!
