Hi I have a dataset in list format which is an output from powershell that I've cleaned into two columns called Field and Value and it looks like this:

 

Field   Value

ID       1

ColA   123

ColB   ABC

ColC   D1E

ID       2

ColA   456

ColB   DEF

ColC   G6H

.

.

.

 

How do I convert this data into something like:

ID  ColA   ColB   ColC

1    123    ABC    D1E

2    456    DEF    G6H

 

I've tried proc transpose, but it will just transpose all the columns as separate ones.
