Cross Tab/Transpose - Rearranging Data

RWars

I'm trying to figure out how to arrange a dataset I have. Based on the problem, I think that the transpose or cross tab tools (or possibly a combination of both) may provide the solution, but I'm not entirely sure. Here is a sample :

 

NameTypeProvinceReports toSystem
AIAOfficeBCAbbotICS
AIAOffice SurreyICES
AIA BCPacGCMS
HerdPortNL ORA

 

I'm trying to rearrange the data so that any common entries in the 'Name' column will be collapsed into a single row. Whatever exists in the other columns for the common entries in the 'Name' field would be combined in the row under that column with some sort of delimiter. I'm thinking it would look something like this:

 

NameTypeProvinceReports toSystem
AIAOffice, Office, BC, ,BCAbbot,Surrey,PacICS, ICES, GCMS
HerdPortNL ORA

A Summarize Tool will do the trick.

Hi @RWars ,

 

You would need a summarise tool for that task. You can configure it as shown below:

EDIT : Not as fast as Qiu here

 

Hope that helps,

Hi @RWars , you can try both the ways either with summarize or with transpose and crosstab both ways are feasible.

If this works, kindly mark this post as solution.

 

Thanks.
