yes this work for repeated values. Because I do use the row Id in the pivoting node. This does ensure that the original data table structure is recreated.

Hi @Iris,
I reopen this this topic because I have a question about the Unpivoting Node. I have a table with two columns. in the first column are the labels and in the scond there are the values. This Looks like this:
You can see that there are dublicate values in the lable column but unique values in the value column. I want the unique values in the pivoting table in the column [JOB]FaultMemReportMirrorMemoryDTCByStatusMask.DTC so the result should look like this
[JOB]FaultMemReportMirrorMemoryDTCByStatusMask.DTC
U140900
U012820
U140A00
This Job I have to do for all the row in my two column Input table. So how do I have to configurate the Unpivoting Node and the Pivoting Node?
Thx and greetings,
Brotfahrer
Hi there @Brotfahrer,
if I got you right you don’t need to do any unpivoting but only use Pivoting node with no group columns, Label as pivoting column and Value as aggregation column with aggregation method List. Then use Ungroup node. That should do it

Thanks a lot!
Hi and welcome
Looks like an unpivot operation. Have a look at that node.
Just to let you know. It’s always best to upload a sample file (excel, csv,… attached)

Thank you very much! I’ve thought about “groupby” and then “unpivot” by not sure how to get the data values correct for each line item - below I uploaded the file, would really appreciate if you could have a quick look at it. BR Fredrik
Thanks 
But this wont solve it - I will have all values in one column, but not split by type net sales/cogs/other income?
Hi @fredrikt
to make the unpivot node work. I made some changes to the Excel Reader configuration, so I would have a “normal” data-set.
The outcome of my workflow looks like:
See the workflow: transpose.knwf (37.7 KB)

Got it! Thank you so much - you are an angel!
Regarding column “Year” and column “month” which is now in separate columns - is it possible to merge them info a single column called “date” and instead of the format 2021 Jan, 2021 Feb, 2021, Mar - show something like e.g. Jan-21. Feb-21 and Mar-21?

Hello @fredrikt,
you can use join() and substr() functions from String Manipulation node to transform 2021 Jan to Jan-21.

Hi @ipazin , this is really helpful.
But I met some problem during the final execution, execution failed and inform
Execute failed: Java heap space: failed reallocation of scalar replaced objects
Is there any method to fix this?
@Kenyx maybe you could explain further what kind of operation you wer doing and what your system is like. If you have costly operations you might want to take a look at these discussions:

Hi @mlauber71
I am pivoting a large mount of unpivoted datasets, my config of memory is set up to 8G, when I executing the whole program is flashing and the Windows taskbar can see multiple knime program open and close.
@Kenyx maybe you open a new thread with some more details about your system and your data. Transpose can be a costly operation. 8 GB might not be that much.
Hi @Kenyx
Did you solve this problem ? If not, I would be happy to help with it if you open it in a new thread as suggested by @mlauber71 
Best wishes,

I already solved this problem, I made mistake on pivots and aggregation method.
