I have a data set that I need to have transposed, but the data is grouped. I need to be able to cross N rows at a time. I was thinking of using the sample tool, but sometimes in my actual data set the values below the berries are all the same.
Here is an example of the data that I have currently:
Current Column |
Strawberry |
1 |
2 |
3 |
Blueberry |
1 |
2 |
2 |
Raspberry |
1 |
1 |
1 |
And here is how I want my data to look after the cross tab:
Current Column | F2 | F3 | F4 |
Strawberry | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Blueberry | 1 | 2 | 2 |
Raspberry | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Is there any combination of tools that will get these results for me?
Thank you!
Gelöst! Gehe zu Lösung.
Hi @Snord
You can use Make Columns to give you your exact result.
It's in the Laboratory tool category
Let me know if that helps!
Cheers!

Hey @Snord
Make columns as above is actually probably the easiest way to do so if you know how many records of numerical data there are for each.
Also worth noting that RegEx could be an easy way to break that column out for an easy pivot. Can put words into one column and digits into another, then fill down and flip.
If there's a scenario where you might have words and digits in one entry you may have to get a little more specific.
Hi @Snord I mocked up a workflow let me know what you think?
Esther, I hadn't ever used this tool. This is brilliant. Thank you so much!
@JS420, thank you for the help. This is a great way to use the cross tab tool, but I think it is overkill for the little process I have going on. Thanks for the suggestion all the same!
