Union columns within same table and create a new field for each column value

Jevish

I am stuck with a problem. Need help with union multiple columns within a same table and then create a new column which will show which column name of the union data. I tried transpose, arrange and union tool but am not getting the results. I have attached the sample raw data and expected output data.

 

Can someone please help out !

 

As you can see in the attachment raw input data tab , I need to union the first amount, second amount , third amount, fourth amount and fifth amount into one column and then create another column which will tell which amount corresponds to which column. I need to repeat it for all the remaining columns which have same data (highlighted in the different colors).

 

Please find the attached file with expected output. Please advise or suggest a way to do this in Alteryx.

 

Thank You

Hello Jes! I was sleeping hahahaha
I think that the best solution is to do the arrange tool 5 times then join then by the keys...

problem is that in my raw data i have 30 more columns. Have to repeat it 30 times 😞 

 

I have found another way, will see if it works or not. Thanks for your help!
