Challenge #151: Meta Parsing

Perfect use case for the Crew Macro - Dynamic Formula.

 

A lot more efficient than other ways, especially if we were to be playing with more than 100 rows of data.

 

Also keeps the field order as well.

 

Take a look into the macro - it's modifying the XML, kudos to @AdamR_AYX  in creating this years back!

Nice challenge.  Tricky getting the output column order correct.

I went the transpose-join route as opposed to using an append fields/formula combo 

I got the column order correct by using the Data dictionary record ID as the key in the Cross tab.  These get sorted into the proper order then it's a dynamic rename
