Hi @Holidayday 

 

Here is how you can do it.

1. Using transpose tool converting columns to rows with key as company name & account name

2. Using crosstab tool with key as account name & name (years) converting back to table with company name as name and value as value. This gives a year level breakdown

2. Using crosstab tool with key as account name converting back to table with company name as name and value as value. This gives a sum of years.
