How do I "transpose" Crownpeak xls download for Tableau?

HelenL

I want to create a time series in Tableau.  

 

The download .xls has

Rows: Quality checkpoints

Columns: Months

 

In Excel I would use Copy and then Paste Special to transpose.  See sheet "DESIRED FORMAT" that I created this way. How do I build the workflow for this in Alteryx?

 

(I use the Transpose tool in workflows to reshape survey data for Tableau. So "transpose" seems to have different meanings.)

 

I also need to remove a row of NULL values.

 

I have attached a .yxmd file. I wanted to save as a packaged file but I don't see the option under "File" or as file type when I "Save as". https://help.alteryx.com/9.5/index.htm#ModulePackager.htm#Export_Workflow_Package

@HelenL Sorry for the delayed response. If you haven't quite solved it yet, how about something like this: 

Regex_replace(replace([FileName],"Company.com_-_",""),"_error.*","") 

The replace will take care of the company.com at the beginning, and then I've changed the regex_replace to find the word error and then all the other stuff that doesn't matter.

 

Hope that helps!
