Stack Multiple Pivots Tables into Single Excel Output

Hello,

 

I have multiple pivot tables that I created using the cross tab tool in different parts of a workflow. I would like to take these pivot table and stack them, with some blank rows in between into a single output sheet in excel. Many of the pivot tables contain different column headers. I have attached sample data as well as the desired output in excel for reference.

Attached is a quick solution, but do check out the Table & Render Tools on the tool mastery section. (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Index/ta-p/84593)... and if you want to change that first line of data into a proper header check out the dynamic rename capabilities(https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Dynamic-Rename/ta-p/32...

You could create a text input with a few spaces and then do a series of unions. Or you could put in a records ID's in each of the files and then union altogether,

 

I attached a -- not good solution, but it gets the job one. It's not dynamic. If you want something more dynamic, then a macro might be in order.

Thank you! Is there a way to create a header for each table so that they are labeled? I tried using the header tool and then selecting the header in the report data section of the render tool but I cannot get it to work.

@jfsiegried There is.  Check out the REPORT TEXT function.  You can attach it to the table prior to your render.  See Screenshot below:
