Pivot table

Hi,

 

How will I make a pivot table (like the one on the right) with the data sets on the left.  I tried Summation but I can only do the sum per State.

Also please see the sample file attached.

Thank you in advance!

How does this look, @Virgie0113? Possibly a little on the 'hacky' side but seems to get the job done for your example!

In alteryx, maybe we need to change the thinking for the image of Pivot Table😁

Hi, thank you so much.  This is really helpful.  I am just getting an error on the second to the last step, do you know what is this?

@Virgie0113 did you change this by any chance?

Just tried running it again myself and it worked fine.

Hi @DataNath ,

 

I got it :)  In the Output column, I just select the "Sum Amount' so it changed the Data type to "Double" and cannot change it to V_Wstring.  

so, I added a new column and make the data type V_Wstring.

thank you for all your help!

 

Regards,

Virginia

Hi,  I have a follow up question on this topic.  So before I don't need to show the total by Accounts but now I need to show it.  The good news is there is only two accounts involve. So how will I have a column that show the total of the two accounts separately.  I was able to show the accounts by row but not by column by modifying the workflow that @DataNath provided before but its confusing when the account total is in the row instead of column.  Below is a pivot table that I wanted to recreate in Alteryx and I also attached a sample file.
