Transpose Multiple Columns into Repeating Rows

YLYONG
9 - Comet

Hi All,

 

I have a data set that looks like this:

 

 Type  Subsystem 27/06/20224/07/202211/07/2022
 Wood  ABC             8,122         8,151            8,152
 PVC  ABC                102               85               223

 

To be converted into this:

 

 Type  Subsystem  Week  Value 
 Wood  ABC 27/06/2022         8,122
 Wood  ABC 4/07/2022         8,151
 Wood  ABC 11/07/2022         8,152
 PVC  XYZ 27/06/2022             102
 PVC  XYZ 4/07/2022               85
 PVC  XYZ 11/07/2022             223

 

I used "Arrange" but it doesn't seem to arrange the table correctly.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @YLYONG,

 

You could use the transpose tool to pivot your column headers to row labels:

I've attached my workflow for you to download if needed!

 

Kind regards,

In terms of configuring the transpose tool itself there are two sections, Key Columns and Data Columns. Tick fields in the Key Columns section to tell Alteryx not to pivot the fields, this should untick the fields from the Data Columns section (but do always check this is the case!)
