Hi @aparna0208 

 

Can we see your input data.

You can use the cross-tab to achieve this. First you'd want to "drag down" the date so it applies to every row. This can be done with the multi-row formula.

 

I added in a dynamic rename to clean up the field name. Special characters are automatically changed to "_" with the cross-tab.

Dear @aparna0208,

 

Suppose your input look like :

 

messi007_0-1604679961694.png

 

I have done Summarize in order to count then I have done the cross tab

@messi007 thanks for the quick response:) My input is bit different so had to add in tools as per other solutions

@echuong1 thanks for the quick response:) It worked as expected. Thank you for your inputs:)

One quick question about adding one more feature. Now the next time when I run the workflow, I want only the date column appended to the right of the existing column. Something like below

Discovery Data CRD not populated240240
SEC# not populated2291922919
SF CRD not populated880880
SV CRD not populated22

 

But when I append the output to same file and run the workflow it doesn't seem to work. It gets appended at the bottom as seen below

Is there a way to append the output during my next run as indicated in first example?

 

Thanks!
