Made this flow to handle your question. They key is to leave the dynamic columns box checked so that Alteryx knows what to do with new columns added to the flow:

You will get yellow warning messages if columns from the original flow disappear but that shouldnt be a major issue.

this is they key part in the first transpose configuration.
