Hi @tseo 

 

The Transpose is the first step, but there's a couple more to get the desired output. After the Transpose, use a Text to Columns tool to split the "2017 profit" titles into separate year and name fields. Once that is done, a Select tool can rename and rearrange the fields to your desired output.

Check out the attached workflow for an example.
