Straight to the point, with a little bit of humour chucked in..... you do some good videos

[@chandoo_]

Thank you :)

[@Excelambda]

Great video!!✌ Reasoning exercise to know which one to use next time 😀, (the opposite rule) : - what display of rows will get if we wrap vector "v" into "k" columns => WRAPROWS(v,k) - what display of columns will get if we wrap vector "v" into "k" rows => WRAPCOLS(v,k) Fun fact : WRAPROWS(v,k)=TRANSPOSE(WRAPCOLS(v,k)) and viceversa 😉 Easy form. alternative for our case If you do not have WRAPROWS (for vert. vector "v", "k" columns ) =INDEX(v,SEQUENCE(ROWS(v)/k,k)) - for WRAPCOLS equivalent we transpose the previous result Unfortunately WRAP...functions deal only with vectors (1D arrays) so I managed to create simple custom-made functions to stack or unstack 2D arrays also. 😉

[@chandoo_]

Those are some great additions @Excelambda

[@moisestatis5418]

GREAT video, thank you Chandoo. The symplest unstacked I have seen with PQ

[@datascientist6233]

Thanks chandu.. really great..but i solve similar kind of problem through Google sheets function..

[@chandoo_]

AWESOME 😍

[@txreal2]

OK. What if the first 6 rows are column headers? Any tip is appreciated.

[@abhinav10x]

This function not available in excel 2016, but learning from you is great

[@chandoo_]

You can use the Power Query option in 2016 (or 2013 too).

[@RamKumar-vb4et]

Excellent video, as always. A query: If I have multiple column unstacking problem (example, data is in multiple rows with each row having a different combination of id, course, grade, university). Is it possible to unstack it and have data reorganized with columns headings id, course, grade, and university). Thanks,

[@chandoo_]

If your data has a pattern, you can use either a formula or PQ to unstack the data. If you have just a few columns, apply the wrap functions, one at a time and finally VSTACK the data.

[@RobertoPoehlmann]

What if i have two types of group rows like one group with vendor data (3 rows) and then 5 rows with each invoice information?

[@user-lo2jo2yq1o]

hi chanddo can make us the tutorial how to use BA or DA or SQL with help of Ai tools ... It would be great from you to add-on these topic as your explanation is very understandable... waiting for videos

[@chandoo_]

Thanks for this suggestion. I am in the process of adding few more AI videos. Here is one I did few weeks ago. You should definitely watch it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnjUeZKVnbGJmbc

[@Vaasu94]

Hey Chandu sir, I confused when your Microsoft Teams call rang up😁

[@amansrivastava8111]

Hi Chandoo, I have a problem very similar to this that I have been experiencing from last few weeks. How can I seek your help for that?

[@amansrivastava8111]

It is related to the data format I get when I download ingredients data from Euromonitor. Pls let me know how can I share my problem in detail wi th you

[@fizabasharat2086]

I dont have 6 size, my data has different size in each type what to do now

[@balamuruganbala7253]

I would like to see some chatGPT and AI related videos, bcz your videos are appearing from layman's POV.

[@Vikas.Verma06]

hi chandu bhaiya i downloaded a badly structured sample file from internet i have its answer also but i don't understand how to format it. How can you give solution ...

[@chandoo_]

Hmm.. it is hard for me to provide 1:1 help like this. I suggest posting about this in a forum. You can solve a lot of data problems with Power Query. If you have time, learn it. Here is a detailed video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpqpcpSVn8-Ue6s

[@zoha3728]

Sir I have Microsoft office 2021 version plz guide me power query step bcz I put a lot effort but still not solved this problem it's not working when I follow yours steps sir plz reply the previous video

[@Sekoleyte]

If you have a mac, you cannot use powerquery like this.

[@zoha3728]

@@Sekoleyte android ha

[@chandoo_]

You can use Power Query steps. You just need to enable the "Formula bar" in view ribbon in Power Query editor.

[@denismazzucato114]

=IF(MOD(ROW(C5);6)=5;TEXTSPLIT(TEXTJOIN(";";;C5:C10);";");"") this gives you all data unstacked in 6 columns. You just have to delete empty rows.

[@chandoo_]

That is a cool function. But if I have TEXTSPLIT() in my Excel, I will also have WRAP functions. So I prefer to use those.

[@MPSinghKushwaha]

Sir Your videos are nice but in English we want in Hindi

[@chandoo_]

Thank you. I don't know enough Hindi to make videos. Do watch with Hindi sub-titles (KZbin sometimes autogenerates these)
