The Formula Tool

The transpose tool gives you the power to alter the orientation of a data table, pivoting so horizontal data fields become vertical. Learn how to configure this tool, and when to use it. This allows for extracting data in non-standard formats. There's no limit on the number of rows or fields that can be transposed. You'll be making datasets longer and skinnier in no time!
