    Crosstab table to pivot table to plain table exceeds Excel row limit

    Hello,

    I have a crosstab table like this:


    col 1	col 2	col …	col N
    row 1	x	x	x
    row 2	x	x	x
    row 3	x	x	x
    row 4	x	x	x
    row 5	x	x	x
    row ….	x	x	x
    row M	x	x	x
    where M = 346,143 and N = 158

    And I want to convert this table into a standar list, like this:


    row 1	col 2      x
    row 1	col …      x
    row 1	col N      x
    row 2	col 2      x
    row 2	col …      x
    row 2	col N      x
    row 3	col 2      x
    row 3	col …      x
    row 3	col N      x
    row 4	col 2      x
    row 4	col …      x
    row 4	col N      x
    row 5	col 2      x
    row 5	col …      x
    row 5	col N      x
    row ….	col 2      x
    row ….	col …      x
    row ….	col N      x
    row M	col 2      x
    row M	col …      x
    row M	col N      x
    I did it using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUXJLzqlEPk
    But the final table size is

    MxN = 346,143 x 158 = 54,690,594
    is way above the max row limit of excel (1,048,576). So what should I do?.

    My final goal it to convert this crosstab excel table into a plain CSV.

    Regards.

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    I solved this by partitioning the data into 57 datasheets, and manually conevrting each one into flat files.
