Hi, I have been trying to use transpose, cross tab, select data. Just cannot get my head around it

 

I have got Survey data that is in Rows I need to turn the column Question into Headers, there are 10 question and these will be repeated for each person.  I can remove columns Question Type and Number. 

 

Any help will be appreciated, just trying to get to grips with Alteryx.

 

Thanks

Hi @dbhamber ,

 

I'm not sure of your requirements, can you please provide a mock up of what you are trying to show from that data?

Hi @mceleavey 

 

I agree with @mceleavey, it sounds like the cross-tab tool should get you what you need. I'm just not clear what data you want in each of these new columns.

Hi,

Its Friday. Let me explain the data in column Questions needs to be the heading:

The survey answers will fall in line with the questions, I hope that makes sense. See attached.

 

Thanks again

Hi @dbhamber 

 

Here is how you can arrive to the excepted output from the given data.

 

Workflow:

atcodedog05_0-1622212431283.png

 

1. I am taking each required columns separately and converting them to column with number as header

2. Later i unioning the rows in order

3. While outputting i am configuring skip field names this way the header which is numbers wont be outputted.

 

Output:

Hope this helps 🙂
