Pull data from multiple columns into a single Pivot Table column

[SWLee]

If there is a previous thread for this topic, please direct me to it.

I have a large table (both in columns and rows). In each row/record, there are three name fields. The same name could be in any record, in any of the three fields. I need a way to put all of the names from those three fields into ONE field of a Pivot Table. Here is an example of what I am trying to do (NOTE: the dashes (-) are not part of the table, I've used them here to line up the columns):

Sample source data:
Record One----Name1--Name2--Name3
Record Two----Name1--Name4--Name5
Record Three--Name3--Name6--Name7

Pivot Table results I’m looking for:
Name1--Record One
------------RecordTwo
Name2--Record One
Name3--Record One
------------RecordThree
Name4--Record Two
Name5--Record Two
Name6--Record Three
Name7--Record Three


I am open to other methods of accomplishing the results I need. I already have one, but it has three times as many rows as my source table, which eventually will become unmanageable, I'm afraid.

You can use Get and Transform to unpivot the data and then only load that into a Data Model.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
