Convert every 6 rows into columns
Hi guys!
Can anyone help me?
I have around 7.000 lines with data - a XML file.
Every 4 rows the "block" starts again. It's always "group, name, number, data"
Something like this:
Column1 - Column2
1234 - Group
XYZ - Name
ID - Number
May/20 - Date
5678 - Group
ABC - Name
ID - Number
Apr/20 - Date
1234 - Group
XYZ - Name
ID - Number
May/20 - Date
I've tried to convert to columns by example but no success 😞
Any tips? 😄

Sorry if I skipped some detailed steps...
You need to go here:
After that, write the following code (for each column you gonna need), adapting your if-statement to each column.
E.g.:
Column Name = if [Column 2] = "Name" then [Column 1] else null Column Id = if [Column 2] = "Id" then [Column 1] else null ...Um abraço! 😀

Hi Anonymous ,
I think I've found a receipt for this!
Used the following sample data:Then created 4 custom columns with the following code:
if [Column 2] = ##Column_to_be_created then [Column 1] else nullAfter that, you need to fill-down the first custom column created and fill-up the last one and the penultimate
To finish, filter the third column to eliminate null values
Note: This solution may not be feasible for other scenarios, and it is better to confirm that you do not "lose" data through the process...
Any questions, don't hesitate!
Best Regards,
Eduardo

One more thing, edugoncalves ...
I'm trying to remove the null's with your tip but I couldn't...lol
I have to put the Fill up and down after the code to add custom? I've tried shift + enter but returns me an error ....I could only fill down the first collumn but not the others 😞BTW, edugoncalves in my original file I have 7 columns
