Unpivot

Merges one or more columns into key and value columns

Overview

The Unpivot node allows you to convert columns in your data table into row values. It involves converting wide-format data with multiple columns for different categories or attributes into long-format data, where each category or attribute is represented in a single row.

Settings

Convert to rows

Select the columns that you want to unpivot into rows. All columns' names will be stored in one column and their values in another.

Category column name

Enter a name for the new column to store the names of the unpivoted columns.

Value column name

Enter a name for the new column to store the values from the unpivoted columns.

Keep all other columns

Switch this toggle "on" to keep columns that were not unpivoted.

Example

Consider the following wide-format dataset:

Country	Year	Product_A_Sales	Product_B_Sales	Product_C_Sales
USA	2021	1000	2000	1500
UK	2021	800	1700	1200
France	2021	900	1900	1300

The result of Unpivot:

Country	Year	Product	Sales
USA	2021	Product_A	1000
USA	2021	Product_B	2000
USA	2021	Product_C	1500
UK	2021	Product_A	800
UK	2021	Product_B	1700
UK	2021	Product_C	1200
France	2021	Product_A	900
France	2021	Product_B	1900
France	2021	Product_C	1300
