How to move/match cell data to the corresponding column?

Hello community,

 

I'm rather new to the Alteryx tool and I'm looking for some assistance if possible.

 

I have a table (example below), which contains a raft of repeating data fields, but with alternating responses.

 

Unique ReferenceA
NameA Person
DoB01/01/1970
Unique ReferenceB
NameB Person
DoB01/02/1980
Unique ReferenceC
NameC Person
DoB01/03/1990

 

What I am aiming to achieve is to convert data like the above to a simple running data table like the below.

 

Unique ReferenceNameDoB
AA Person01/01/1970
BB Person01/02/1980
CC Person01/03/1990

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

 

Kind regards,

 

Jamie

Here is a sample solution for you. There may be a more elegant way to do this, but this works.

Hello @griffinwelsh and @Bren_Spill, thank you both so much for your help!

 

Unfortunately I am unable to download files due system restrictions, as such, would you be able to provide me with screen grabs of the flows?

 

Thank you again and I am grateful for your support!

Hi,

 

Here is my solution.

I reused some batching i had made for another workflow, this workflow batches by number. So in this case it will be by every 3 records. It works with the supplied sample data, but if you have more than 3 records you need to reconfigure the tools should be easy enough to spot where.
