follow these instructions exactly:

one... add a record id if you don't have one.

transpose - use recordid as a key column.

summarize tool-> group by record id/concat values - add your delimeter here.

create a second branch from your transpose -> create a second summarize tool -> concat name - add your delimieter

off of the name branch create a field called recordID - give it a value 0.

use a union tool.

 

use a text input tool.

put your new header in it

create a field called recordid - give it a value -1

attache to union tool.

sort by recordid

 

use select tool - drop recordid.

 

use output data. no headers. /0 as your your delimiter. NOTE - if you have commas in your data you may have errors. you can fix this by using a formula tool before your value summarize to add quotes around your values.

@binu_acs - slight modification to include the original headers as a line. "borrowed" your workflow. sorry.
