Pivot Worksheet Transformation

Pivot Worksheet

Pivot worksheets based on switching the columns and rows in a worksheet. For example, if a worksheet had Subject, Parameter, and Parameter Value columns, and a user wanted to place each parameter in its own column, this object can transpose the worksheet based on selections made in the Worksheet Mappings panel.

The Pivot Worksheet object is primarily used to unstack, or pivot, stacked datasets like the Final Parameters output worksheet from a PK or NCA model.

Use one of the following to add the object to a Workflow:

Right-click menu for a Workflow object: New > Data Management > Pivot Worksheet.
Main menu: Insert > Data Management > Pivot Worksheet.
Right-click menu for a worksheet: Send To > Data Management > Pivot Worksheet.

Note:To view the object in its own window, select it in the Object Browser and double-click it or press ENTER. All instructions for setting up and execution are the same whether the object is viewed in its own window or in Phoenix view.

Mappings panel

The Mappings panel allows users to specify which columns in a worksheet are involved in the worksheet transformation. Required input is highlighted orange in the interface.

Column Header: Data type to use for creating the column headers in the output worksheet. Only one data type can be mapped to this context.

Values: Data type to fill the columns for each column header. Only one data type can be mapped to this context.

Row Header: Data types to use for defining the rows in the pivoted worksheet. Multiple data types can be mapped to this context. Each combination creates a unique set of profiles that are used to order the output worksheet rows.

Unit: Source data column containing unit information. When checked, the units become part of the column header upon pivoting. If incompatible units (including blank units) are found in the unit column, then the pivot will not be able to be performed until these inconsistencies are resolved or units are unmapped.

Carry: Data types to carry over unchanged in the output worksheet.

Attribute: Data types to combine with the data type mapped to Values to create additional column headers.

Results

The Pivot Worksheet object generates one worksheet.

Result: The pivoted output worksheet.
