    Transposing table multiple columns

    Hi - I have a table with two columns and one row header. I need to switch this so that one of the columns becomes the row header. An example is below:

    This is my current table:
    Apr-14 May-14
    John Sales 300 350
    Profit 20 25
    Paul Sales 200 240
    Profit 40 45
    George Sales 350 380
    Profit 25 35
    Ringo Sales 100 120
    Profit 10 15

    I need to rearrange so that my 'measures' are the row headings:

    Sales Profit
    John Apr-14 300 20
    May-14 350 25
    Paul Apr-14 200 40
    May-14 240 45
    George Apr-14 350 25
    May-14 380 35
    Ringo Apr-14 100 10
    May-14 120 15

    My actual table is quite large so I need to find an efficient way of rearranging - any help would be very gratefully received - thank you

    Re: Transposing table multiple columns

    Hi,

    You should really put your data into a normalised 2D table such that it can easily be analysed/summarised either with a pivot table or functions. So change your layout to columns for

    Date
    Name
    Sales Amount
    Profit Amount

    Then you'll be able to use a Pivot Table.
