from one column into multiple columns
I have a large data file in Excel like the following:
column 1 r231 r236 r239 r240 r231 r236 r239 r240 r231 r236 r239 r240 . . . r231 r236 r239 r240 with upto 1 million rows. column 2 has item1 item1 item1 item1 item2 item2 item2 item2 item3 item3 item3 item3 . . . itemX itemX itemX itemX Column 3 has aa bb ab ac ab bb cc aa . . . bb aa ac cc I would like to convert this data into the following table: column 1, starting from the second row, has the following: r231 r236 r239 r240 row 1, starting from second column, has item1, item2, item3, item4 in columns 2 through 5. column 2, starting from the second row, has the original column 3 data that correspond to item1. column 3, starting from the second row, has the original column 3 data that correspond to item2. column 4, starting from the second row, has the original column 3 data that correspond to item3. column 5, starting from the second row, has the original column 3 data that correspond to item3. Would appreciate your help on how to do this in Excel 2010 for Windows. This large data file is in txt format as well. A tip on how to convert the file in Linux/Unix is also appreciated. |
