Transform Column to Rows

Afternoon everyone!  Fairly new to Alteryx and I am trying to transpose some of the my because I am dealing with an aggregation issue.

 

My data looks like this now:

What I want is this:

I have been playing with the Cross Tab, Transposes and Text to Column Tools and still haven't found the right combination.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @ScottC1971,

 

I have prepared a workflow for you:

Hi @ScottC1971 ,

 

You might have to use another tool for that task. Think of it as you have two groups (or X groups of Task order) and you need to add up (summarize) all values in the PR Number column.

 

Because string values cannot be added up like numbers, you can concatenate them instead.

 

So try using a summarize tool, group by the column Task order and then select you PR Number column and choose to concatenate.

 

By default the delimiter would be a comma (,) but you can delete it and use a pipe (|) instead or a pipe with two whitespaces either side ( | ).

 

Cheers,

 

Angelos
