Hi Alteryx engineers,

 

I have data read like this, each column is a set of data which might come with several rows,  I have filter like OM02 and i want to locate the data that i need is from  second column, then i will go for 13L in second column and get the number 25264 which is what i want. how I can implement this? 

 TIME:  02:26       TIME:  02:26

The data set might not only two columns and i don't think we can use filter to set [F2] as filter option, cause OM02 might exists in any column of those dataset and filter can't help me located the column that contains OM02,

@aeolus187 in that case use a transpose tool
