I have data in a database in the below format:

 

Key

X1

X2

X3

Y1

Y2

Y3

Z1

Z2

Z3

12345

y

12345

 

 

 

 

 

 

z

I want to know if there’s a way to combine these three records into one record that would be represented like this:

Something tells me that the didin't look like this originally, and perhaps that there's a better way solve this in an earlier stage.

 

I don't know what kind of real data this is (or is it real, perhaps just training?), but I would definitely consider to transpose the data, much easier to work with.

You're right in saying the data didn't look like this originally, but there has been a change in how the data is presented to us (not controlled by us).

 

Unfortunately, there's no way for us to revert back to the "old" way and this is how it will be going forward.

Ok. Then it's transpose time 😆
