Transpose CSV
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Transpose CSV to change the position of rows and columns, so that the column header changes to the first column and each row of data to a new column. This operation is useful for converting reports into matrix forms or preparing data for specific analysis. The data needs to be in a consistent table form to keep the transpose results neat.
Key points
- Transpose the row into column and vice versa
- The original header moves along and is usually the first column.
- The number of rows resulting is equal to the number of columns originally
- Duplicate header or inconsistent field count makes the result ambiguous
- The transpose differs from the two-column swap because it changes the entire orientation of the table
