Import Multiple CSVs, reformat data

DanN

Hello community

This is my second day using Alteryx and as easy as it is to use, this one is beyond me!

 

I am attempting to import multiple CSVs and XLS(x) files into one workbook, remove all but 2 fields and create a unique list.

All the files are in the same location and the same formats / headers etc.

I've managed to import and union the files fine, but this isn't giving me a unique list for obvious reasons and exceeds the 1M Excel limit.

 

What I would like to do is create a unique list using one field from all the files (column C below), then a new column for each file (column D below)

 

It looks like this, input:

I would like the output to look like this:

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thank you!

 

Dan

Hi @DanN ,

 

What I have understood from your query is a single unique list can have multiple columns. Here is my workflow on the basis of my understanding and sample dataset. Let me know if it helps!
