How to convert part of columns from a table to rows?

[Cascader]

Hi 

I'm trying to convert columns issue1,issue2,issue3 to one column called issue.

Here is example data what I have:

Serial	Date	issue1	issue2	issue3	desc	isCompleted
1	2023-Jan	abc	xyz		item	1
2	2023-Feb	a	b	c	Main Item	0

The result I need:

Serial	Date	issue	desc	isCompleted
1111	2023-Jan	abc	item	1
1111	2023-Jan	xyz	item	1
2222	2023-Feb	a	Main Item	0
2222	2023-Feb	b	Main Item	0
2222	2023-Feb	c	Main Item	0

I think that Crosstable is what you want for this situation:

Hi @Cascader , please check this example.

It uses CROSSTABLE for transpose the columns to rows.

Input:
Load * INLINE [
Serial, Date, issue1, issue2, issue3, desc, isCompleted
1, 2023-Jan, abc, xyz,, item, 1
2, 2023-Feb, a, b, c, Main Item, 0
];

Output:
crosstable(Issue, Desc, 3)
Load
Serial,
Date,
isCompleted,
issue1,
issue2,
issue3
Resident Input;
drop table Input;

noconcatenate
Final:
Load
Serial,
Date,
isCompleted,
Issue,
Desc
Resident Output
Where
not isnull(Desc) and Desc <> ''; // or len(Desc)>0
drop table Output;

Noconcatenate
