Transpose to Crosstab and appending field names

Hi,

trying to get specific field names based on my data.  I get to a certain point and I am stuck.

The image below is my sample input and expected output.  I also included a workflow sample.

Hey @LincolnMike

 

This should get you somewhere close.

 

  • I transposed the data first
  • created a concatenated header
  • did a little regex replace (because crosstab annoyingly removes special characters)
  • used summarize to count the number of "tracks"
  • Crosstabbed the data back
  • lastly a little dynamic rename to put the special characters back in the headers

Thank you LNL.  I used the REGEX you created.  I spent the day understanding the formula, and found more information about REGEX.  I found a site regex101.com and the Alteryx help site.  I added a few more Formulas to what you started for me and i have all that I need...for this question :)

I am sure I will have more questions soon.
