I have a data source that has data in columns based on dates or Yearmonth formats. I need to pull some of that data out and convert it to a row. For Example: Column 1 Column 2 201510 500 201511 600 201512 700 201601 300 201602 900 I need to create a table: 201510 201511 201512 201601 Row 1 500 600 700 300 Can I do this with a Magic ETL or will I have to use a transform? Any thoughts and ideas will be appreciated!

    The simple answer is yes you can - there is a Magic ETL widget "Uncollapse Columns" that will do what you are looking to do in Magic. I have not used it yet, so i cannot give you step by step instructions but i saw a demo at appeared fairly straight forward.

    OK so that did not post well.... First table Colums are dates and values Output table puts the dates as column headers and the values as a single row.
