Hello All,

 

We have data where we are trying to get the data in transpose format if a particular customer has same code consecutively for three or more months. Attached the sample data, and below the final output. Please help.

Hi @Scheruku,

 

I annotated each tool so I won't go into too much details here, but this should generate the output you're looking for.

Took a slightly different approach to @jrgo

I used a lookup table to convert the month names to an integer (1-12). 

Then a couple of formula tool to create the next two months followed by a union to put together. I put the original set at the top so that they would dominate the generated data

I then added an adjusted month name back with a lead character to force the order on the CrossTab before putting into the format you wanted
