Hi,

 

I am new to Alteryx and I am trying to use transpose / Crosstab.

 

Below is my original data set:

Subject IDTitle CodeTitle

5616556165200Physics Advance
6574665746100Mathematics

4646846468200Biology Foundation
4646846468300Biology Advance
7688476884100Chemistry

 

 

I will like my data to look like this after:

Subject IDTitle CodeTitleTitle CodeTitleTitle CodeTitle

This should work! Note you cannot have columns of the same name in Alteryx (and any other platform besides Excel)

@NJAlteryx Here is a way to do it.

 

The names will have to be slightly different due to Alteryx naming rules, but using the cross tab, some data prep, and then a transpose, you can get the output you are needing.

@alexnajm Yours is just a little quicker though.😂

Well alright @alexnajm  and @abacon

Nope, sorry, I lied... I do have one change I would recommend for those that are on versions older than 2024:

 

I started with @alexnajm's file but swapped out the Record ID tool for a Multi-Row-Formula (because the old Record ID tool does not have Group by) so that I could group the Title's to avoid this:

and instead, get this:

But like the others pointed out, you will have to add a unique identifier to the column names since they can't be shared.  Hope this helps, -Jay
