First add the new column in each table. You should the  have 3 tables with 3 columns.  All columns have the same column headings

 

then append the tables into 1 long table. 

 

When end you have 1 table, then unpivot the country and subject columns. When you do this, you will be asked which column to aggregate, and how. Select sum of the numeric column

For each table, add a new column identifying the table (either Maths, science, physics)

call this column "subject" in all cases

append the 3 tables together

pivot the first 2 columns, with sum on the numeric column

Hye Matt

 

Could you explain how can I add another column with same record for more than 3000 rows for each table?

Select "add custom column"

enter ="my value" in the formula box

Hi Matt

 

I managed to add custom column as you advised but unfortunately after I try to pivot the first 2 column I didnt get the result that I want.,

What do you mean by "pivot the first 2 columns, with sum on the numeric column"

Do I need to pivot country name column and subject column for all three tables?

And how to do - sum on the numeric column as you advised earlier?
