How do I pivot my table to "wider" or "narrow" form?

1

I want to transform a table from a “wider” form (that’s convenient for editing) and other “longer” forms that are appropriate for different computations or displays. A use case is a project with multiple dates (e.g. proposal date, start date, completion date, report date). But more generally there is the general problem of pivoting a table where column headings become values in a column of a longer table.

Here’s an example where I’d like the second table to be derived formulaically from the first.

Hi @David_Kulp ,

you can take inspiration from this use-case: Divide rows with multiple values to multiple rows in coda

It is basically the same concept, with just multiple values on some columns that should not affect you.
Please, let me know if this is enough to start with or you need more support.

Cheers!
