The Rotating table in QlikView is similar to the column and row transpose feature in Microsoft Excel but with some additional options. We can transpose columns in multiple directions and they give different results. In this chapter, we will be seeing the normal transpose option of converting rows to columns.

The above data is loaded to QlikView memory by using the script editor. Open the script editor from the File menu or press Control+E. Choose the “Table Files” option from the “Data from Files” tab and browse for the file containing the above data.

After clicking Next, we choose the Enable Transformation Step button to carry out the required data transformation.
