Hi Teams,
First of all thank y'all for your participation on this community - it has really saved me from a lot of headaches.
Here is my issue, I am downloading data from an API with over 27000 rows, I am able to parse it until the point that I have two columns: Name & Value.
Now the issue that I am having is that my data uses the same identifier multiple times for different data sets. In other words, I have a list of data like the below with over 2000 different IDs.
NAME | VALUE |
ID | 55555X |
NAME | JOHN |
LAST NAME | SMITH |
NATIONALITY | FRENCH |
ID | 55555X |
ADDRESS | 10 RUE STEVIN |
PHONE NUMBER | 776103365 |
PLACE OF BIRTH | PARIS, FRANCE |
ID | 55555X |
FAVORITE COLOUR | BLACK |
FAVORITE MUSIC | ROCK |
ID | 55555X |
UNIVERSITY | HARVARD |
ID | 666666X |
NAME | JOHN |
LAST NAME | TRICH |
NATIONALITY | FRENCH |
ID | 666666X |
ADDRESS | 10 RUE STEVIN |
PHONE NUMBER | 776103365 |
PLACE OF BIRTH | PARIS, FRANCE |
ID | 666666X |
FAVORITE COLOUR | PINK |
FAVORITE MUSIC | ROCK |
ID | 666666X |
UNIVERSITY | OXFORD |
and I would like the following output:
ID | NAME | LAST NAME | NATIONALITY | ADDRESS | PHONE NUMBER | PLACE OF BIRTH | FAVORITE COLOUR | FAVORITE MUSIC | UNIVERSITY |
55555X | JOHN | SMITH | FRENCH | 10 RUE STEVIN | 776103365 | PARIS, FRANCE | BLACK | ROCK | HARVARD |
666666X | JOHN | TRICH | FRENCH | 10 RUE STEVIN | 776103365 | PARIS, FRANCE | PINK | ROCK | OXFORD |
I have tried to use the multi-row formula but it hasn't work for me. At least partially since it created a new record per ID.
I am sorry for the simplistic example, I am not allow to share actual examples. Any help will be appreciated.

Giuliano
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @giulianosua1,
here is a way to do it:
Output:
What happens:
Multi-Row-Formula:
This fills all the columns with the right IDs.
Filter:
Let's filter all the ID rows because they don't contain data.
Cross Tab:
Time to bring the data into shape!
Workflow attached. Let me know if you were looking for this.
Best
Alex
