Hi community,

Actually i am facing a data transformation issue with Alteryx. 

I have a dataset with a row data that is above the header rows. 

 

My purpose is to transform the first rows the header which should be in a column name STORE_CODE.

I tried some solutions like transposing those columns with extra rows but never find a proper solution.

Can you please help, i will attach a sample of data?Thank you.

Hi @abdoul ,

 

Can you provide a sample of the desired output?  I'm not sure if that was in your attached Excel file, but I was unable to open (likely due to firewall on my side).

 

Thank you.

Hi @abdoul

 

I would recommend reading in your Excel sheet as raw data:

Then use the Transform & Join tools to break it apart and put it back together in your desired format:

Hey @abdoul , 

 

This is for sure an interesting transformation example. I have given it a shot, please see the attached workflow and let me know if it gets you your desired output. 

 

Best,

Thanks for your quick reply, @Aaron_Harter  and @NicholasM  lead pretty much to the same result which which solve a big part of my problem. 

 

But now is there a way to go a little bit further and have the result in SKU level the dataset is way larger than the sample that I shared so more than 100 STORECODES ?? I mean by that having only STORECODE for only the existing SKU and avoid the NULL value in the bottom of the result (please see attached image for what i am referring). Let me know if you have an idea.

 

@DQAUDIT  I hope that reply to your question about the result that i am looking for. I will attach as well again the sample for you. 

 

thank you.
