Loading spreadsheet column (headers) as one dimension

Wed, 14 May 2014 22:07:46 GMT

Given an Excel spreadsheet with the following layout:

DateTime	CompanyA	CompanyB	CompanyC
1/2/2014 10:00:00 AM	5	1	0
1/3/2014 05:00:00 AM	10	3	2
1/4/2014 12:20:00 AM	3	5	2
1/5/2014 8:33:30 PM	2	0	1

Is it possible to load the above sheet in a single load statement such that I end up with the following model:

In the above case I would expect the resulting table to have 12 rows of data. Or do I have to load each company separately?

Perfect, thanks. I had a feeling it involved cross tables but the Help wasn't any Help. That blog post is just what I needed.
