Rearrangement of Data

 Hi All,

 

So I have attached an excel sheet with 2 tabs - the input and the desired output using Alteryx!

 

I am new to Alteryx so I know the basics but wasn't sure how to fix the above - please note it can go on for over 100 countries

 

Kind Regards,

Viral Patel

Hi @Vyx you just need to use a transpose tool for that challenge.

Hi @Vyx 

 

1. Use transpose tool to convert columns to rows. Here is an interactive lesson which should teach you how to do it

2. Filter the nulls values from the country values column. Here is an interactive lesson which should teach you how to do it

3. Deslect column and rename as required as the last step

 

Let me know if you are facing any issues in understanding or tackling the use case I will be happy to help :)

 

Hope this helps : )

@Vyx ,

 

As @JosephSerpis said, I'd use the TRANSPOSE tool too.  When you configure it, you'll want to:

  • KEY COLUMNS {Name, Date}
  • DATA COLUMNS {All of your country columns}

Then you would FILTER to keep where:

!IsEmpty([Value])

and finally, you'll use a SELECT tool to rename "Value" to "Country".

 

Cheers and Happy Alteryxing,

 

Mark
