Multiple rows to multiple columns

Hi everyone,

 

I have the following table:

 

ItemAttr1Attr2Attr3
AXWR
BYZS

 

I want to transform it into the following:

 

ItemA-Attr1A-Attr2A-Attr3B-Attr1B-Attr2B-Attr3
AXWRYZS

 

 

I was able to do that by using multiple Crosstabs and Append Fields in sequence (example attached), but I believe there is a more elegant way to do this. Also, the number of attributes can grow and this approach would become unmanageable. 

 

Can anyone help me finding a better solution?

 

Thanks in advance!

I'd suggest something like:

 

- Transpose to get Item, Name, Value

- Then Formula Tool to join Item to Name

- Finally a Cross Tab to convert to the horizontal form.

This doesn'r result in the initial Item column though. Sample attached.

That's exactly what I needed :)

 

Thank you!
