Hi 

I wish to transpose my data like excel.I have the following data:

Field1	8,903.77	4,383.79	7,036.86	2,456.41	1,835.62
field2	809.50	1,357.49	5,756.23	7,937.68	4,464.97
Field3	5,846.71	126.28	2,674.24	9,757.16	1,998.16
Field4	5,505.00	5,132.69	5,348.57	5,651.72	3,037.45

And I want output as:

Hi @sakshim I mocked up a workflow let me know what you think?

Hi Joseph,

thanks for swift reply.. really appreciate it... I have a small query here.. Have you converted numbers to string? As data type for all months appears to be string.

I can not change the datatype of the columns so the concatenation function can not be performed on values at crosstab level. Please advise

Hi @sakshim I amended the workflow however your example data has , in the data so that would mean that data would be read as a string in Alteryx. In my workflow I have amended workflow I have removed the , and converted the data into a numeric data type.

Many thanks Joseph... this is working for me perfectly now. Now, this makes me little curious to understand the use of data cleansing tool here.
