Changing table values to headers

Hi,

 

I have a set of data that looks like the below;

ConfirmationIdAnswers.Questions.QuestionNameAnswers.TextAnswer
330478BOOKING REQUEST DATE17.01.20
330478CANDIDATE EMAIL (NC)[email protected]
330478INVOICE TO mandatoryCANDIDATE TO POD
330478COST CODENA
330478etc....etc.....

 

I want the data to look like this below;

ConfirmationIdBOOKING REQUEST DATECANDIDATE EMAIL (NC)INVOICE TO mandatoryCOST CODEetc....
33047817.01.20[email protected]CANDIDATE TO POD

NA

etc....

 

I need this to work for as many column names that are listed in the first table (which is more than what I've shown).

Fortunately for you, this will still work, even on text 🙂

 

Just select your second and third column. Then do pivot, in advanced options choose MAX instead of COUNT and in your "values" column use your Answers.textanswer column.

 

Tadaaa 🙂

Thanks for the quick reply.  I did try to pivot the column but I don't have numbers in the values column it is text data.
