Transpose sets of columns

c_raviram

Hi Experts,

I have an attached sheet Input table which consist of quantity and value$.

Column with the date format as YYYY-MM-DD have quantity, whereas columns with date format as $ MMM-YY have values$.

Total 48 columns (2 years X 12 months X 2 measures(quantity and value))

 

Those 48 columns need to be transposed to 4 columns below (Month, year, Quantity and value) in the attached sheet Output

 

I know this can be achieved with two transpose tools but I am curious to know any alternative approach (combination of developer tools and transpose)

 

Problem with transpose tool is that sometimes it automatically deselect certain columns and hence a need to configure transpose tool again (for every cycle run).

 

Regards, Ravi

Hi @c_raviram ,

 

Transpose tool shouldn't deselect columns. Have you selected the "Dynamic or Unknown columns" option in Data columns ?

Hi Jean, yes upon deselection of "Dynamic or Unknown columns", the problem of auto deselection does not occur. I have posted a question to know any alternative approach for this exercise.

I don't think its possible without transpose though.

 

Hope this helps : )
