Combining multiple columns whilst keeping ID/Date

Hi

 

I have a table that looks something like this:

 

I wanted to have one long list of all the subtypes, ideally keeping them with the correct date and ID's.

 

Using some other posts from here I tried unpivoting but it doesn't seem to have worked instead just giving me each subtype for every ID, where this wouldn't be the case.

 

  • Hi MatH ,

    You will have to follow the below steps :

    1) Unpivot by selection only the columns - Reason Type 1, Reason Type 2, Reason Type 3, Reason Type 4. It will give you the below result

    2) Filter ou the Blank rows from the column -"Value" to get the below table

    Hope this helps.

    Please accept the solution if this answers your query.

    Thanks!

      Thank you - this is effectively what I had tried but missed the simple last step of filtering out those blanks. Much appreciated
