Grabbing Unique Values for Each Column

Hello. 

 

I have a data set with about 25 columns.  I need to grab unique values for each column with a sum for another column.  Is there a way to do this without 25 different summarize tools on the pallet?  

 

For example, let's say one column is year with a unique value from 2010 to 2013 and one is marital status.  So, in the end I would want to see:

Year| 2010| sum of value

Year| 2011| sum of value

Year| 2012| sum of value

Year| 2013| sum of value

MS  | M     |sum of value

MS | S       |sum of value 

 

I've attached an exported workflow and what I want the end result to look like if I used a bunch of Summarize tools on the tool pallet. My end goal is to have a macro that does this where the user can choose which columns to group by and which column to use as the value.

Yes you can transpose your data and then summerize on just the one field rather than the 25 fields.

 

Example attached.

This works but I can't seem to make an interface work how I want (choosing which columns to group and which one to sum by).  Do you see what I'm doing wrong here?

I've attached how I would build out a macro version of this, it should provide you with some direction.
