Transpose rows under 1 field and concatenate with values from different fields

Hello All - This is my first post here. I am trying to convert the rows under one field to different field names and concatenate each field name that was derived from rows with other field names. I have attached a sample worksheet showing what I want my end product to look like.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @JoRao

My fault for not interpreting correctly.

Again similar techniques will be used but the key is to pivot the data so your field headers and 'Avg Man etc. are side by side. You can then concatenate the field headers and avg etc. values together and then pivot the data to your ideal format.

Attached is a workflow you can use as a basis.

HI @JoRao

I have attached the batch macro but you will need to create the file paths to feed into it.

This will require a directory tool to get a list of all your xlsx files. You will then need to use a formula tool to add the specific sheet name to each xlsx file.

If you go to the solution in this article it shows the directory and formula steps to add the sheet name to the full path field.

***Each file will need to be have the same structure e.g. you use a select records tool 1-4, so if one file onl misses the first 1-3 you will have to think of another dynamic logic for this batch macro to work for all files.

FYI. Download the macro workflow, save it somewhere and then on a new canvas right click>>>Insert>>Macro. You can then use the directory and formula to build and process your xlsx files.

Hi @JoRao

This article will help you with the multiple .xls sheets.

You can then use the interface Designer and set the output option as:

This will account for the selected fields.

Hi @JoRao

Please find a workflow attached which can show you how to manipulate your data.

Some of these techniques such as the two tool containers at the end can be replicated once you add product 2, 3 & 4 in the data.

Hi @JordanB,

Thank you for your response. I guess I was not very clear in describing what it is that I want to achieve. If we looked at row 1-4 on the excel sheet I attached, I want to be able to concatenate the field names (Avg, Product1, etc,.) to the values in the first row (manual PMPM, PCC PMPM, etc.) So my end result would have field names that look like this:

Avg Man PMPM **, Avg PCC PMPM **, Avg Right PMPM ** ,Avg Final PMPM ** ,Product 1 Man PMPM ** etc.

How would I achieve this in Alteryx?

Thanks again for your help!

Best,
