Hi experts:
The inspectors will input the below original table every day, I hope to create some charts in Report View page to show the defects quantity changes by the inspection date, product name, product type, so I need to create a new table, the new table will create rows by each defect, you can refer to the new table, because there are 9 defects in total in the original table, so the new table will have 9 rows, could you help check how to create the new table?
Original Table
| Inspection Date | Product Name | Product Type | Defect 1 | Defect 2 | Defect 3 | Defect 4 |
| 2023/1/1 | A | Switch | Box Broken | Soldering Fail | Low Battery | Product Scratch |
| 2023/1/2 | A | Switch | Low battery | Product Scratch | ||
| 2023/1/3 | B | Mouse | Product broken | Low battery | ||
| 2023/1/4 | B | Cable | Cable Disconnected |
New Table

Solved! Go to Solution.
you need to make a duplicate of the table and then delete the unnecessary column and do what was shown in the video
Hi Ahmedx:
Thank you very much for the reply! It's clear for me now!!!
But I still have a question, I don't want to edit the data in the original table, because there are multiple columns in it, so I want to create a new table only contains the Inspection Date/Product Name/Product Type/Defect, could you help tell me how to make it?
