Turning columns into rows
In the previous exercise, you turned the names of the products you had in the rows into columns, and then you summarized the units of the products for every year.
Suppose you stored the result from the previous exercise in a new table called pivot_sales, and now you want to turn the columns notebooks, pencils, and crayons into row values.
The expected result will be:
| year_of_sale | units | product_name |
|--------------|-------|--------------|
| 2018 | 150 | notebooks |
| 2018 | 150 | pencils |
| 2018 | 80 | crayons |
| 2019 | 230 | notebooks |
| 2019 | 130 | pencils |
| 2019 | 170 | crayons |
