[FONT=&quot]Hello,
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I am working with a fairly large dataset with ~120 Columns and 10,600 rows that I need to make pivot table ready. However, I am not sure how to approach this given the layout of the data output as is (Please see image https://imgur.com/k3XA1T5)

[FONT=&quot]Your help would be much appreciated!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Wouldnt a PT give you pretty much what you already have?

What are you trying to do and why do you think you need a PT?

Hello, Ford
I do not have a pivot table created. That was a dummy pivot table. The raw data I have in the Top picture is (https://imgur.com/k3XA1T5) will not allow me to organize the Products into rows in an easy way.

The images at the bottom of the imgur pic are what my "ideal state" looks like. It's all using dummy data, but I cannot get it to that place given the manual work I'd have to do to iterate this across 10,600 rows and 100 columns. Any ideas?

Ok, but I still ask - even if you rearrange the top table to look like the bottom table, when you pivot the bottom table, wont it still just end up looking like the top table again?

And again - What are you trying to do and why do you think you need a PT?
