Hi @chc10 

 

I make workflow.

Please refer attached file.

I use the newest Designer version 2020.4.

If you can't open the attached file, you have to update designer or version down the yxmd file(open by text editor and overwrite version info).

Hi @chc10,

 

This should work for your data set.  By using key columns in the Transpose tool and group by data in the Cross Tab you can get the data into the format you are looking for.  The RecordID tool at the beginning keeps each line separate for the Cross Tab tool.
