I want to transform my data so that each instance of effective data is in a new field. I've attached test data below.

 

Start:

Rule TypeJurisdiction TypeStateDate RuleEffective Date
DefaultStateKansasBeginning01/01/2021
DefaultStateKansasBeginning01/01/2020
DefaultStateAlaskaBeginning01/01/2020
DefaultStateAlabamaBeginning01/01/2021
DefaultStateAlabamaBeginning01/01/2020

 

End: 

Rule TypeJurisdiction TypeStateDate RuleEffective Date 1Effective Date 2
DefaultStateKansasBeginning01/01/202001/01/2021
DefaultStateAlaskaBeginning01/01/2020 
DefaultStateAlabamaBeginning01/01/202001/01/2021

I usually consider this, use Cross Tab for vertical to horizontal, Transpose for Horizontal to Vertical.

just added sort tool to @Qiu 's solution to show earlier dates first (will work ok in this case and other cases where the date is in Date format)

@bsolove123  I thought of add another way of doing this - using Multi-Row formula
