Cross Tab and Transpose

Hello,

 

I have this simple dataset as shown below

MonthIncoming CallsAvg Incoming Call TimeOutgoing callsAvg. Outgoing Call Time
Jan5103015
Feb612405

 

I am trying to get it into this format

MonthCall TypeNo of CallsAvg Call Time
JanIncoming510
Jan Outgoing3015
FebIncoming612
FebOutgoing405

 

I thought it was going to be a simple calculation but I am not able to get it into the desirable format. I am using Transpose but I guess I am not using it the right way. Thanks for your help.

Hi ben, so the null values, are because of the cross-tab function, and I cannot figure out a way to clean the data .

 

Any other tricks your sleve? I have attached a few screenshots for you to take a look

Yea the nulls are a result of the cross tab, and the data cleanse tool doesnt see the columns, any other suggestions?

You could use the ‘multi field formula tool’ which can be set to include ‘unknown fields’ as selected, and write a formula along the lines of...

If isnull([_currentfield]) then ‘this’ else [_currentfield_] endif

Hope this helps.
