Data Cleanse Merged Cells

Hi,

 

I have a horribly set up data table in Sheet1 of the attached workbook and was wondering if I could convert what it is in Sheet1 to what it looks like in Sheet2.

 

Is there any way to easily do this in Alteryx?

 

Thanks,

It assumes your first row is populated

David,

 

Let's say I had 20 columns of data. Is there a better way to do it so that I don't have to use Multi-Row 20 times?

 

Thanks,

This is a better solution for many columns.

Sorry, forgot to add the Unique (All fields) at the end to remove duplicate row 2.

Hi @shwetabh89,

It would be better if you open a new discussion.
