Transpose free · Unpivot & Group across on Pro

Transpose or unpivot your spreadsheet

Upload a CSV or Excel file and Operelio flips rows and columns. On Pro, unpivot wide data into long format for pivot tables, charts, and database imports, or group repeated rows across into one row per company for CRM imports.

No credit card required. Transpose your first file without the manual work.

What it does

Three modes: Transpose, Unpivot, and Group across

Flip rows and columns

Every row becomes a column and every column becomes a row. A 3-row, 10-column table becomes a 10-row, 3-column table.

First column as headers

Turn on "Use first column as headers" and the values in column A become your new column headers after transposing. Useful for label-in-first-column layouts.

CSV and Excel supported

Upload .csv, .xlsx, or .xls files. Output as CSV or Excel. Short rows are padded so nothing breaks.

Unpivot wide data to long formatPro

Turn columns into rows. Pick which columns to keep as identifiers and which to collapse, and Operelio turns them into a name-value pair per row. Ideal for preparing data for charts, pivot tables, or database imports.

Name your label and value columnsPro

When you unpivot, pick the names for the two new columns. Call them Month and Revenue, or Region and Total. Pick whatever makes sense for your data.

Group repeated rows acrossPro

Turn a long list with many rows per company into one row per company. Pick the column that defines a group and the columns that repeat, and each row lays across as a numbered set: Contact name 1, Phone 1, Contact name 2, Phone 2.

Predictable order, capped widthPro

Groups appear in the order they first show up in your file, and a group's first row becomes set 1. Sets cap at 50 per row, and the results tell you if any rows were left out.

Keep the rest of the rowPro

Columns that don't repeat, like a website or industry column, ride along from each group's first row. Or switch them off and keep just the group column and the numbered sets.

The alternative

Doing it yourself

This is what transposing looks like without a tool.

In Excel or Google Sheets

1Select and copy your entire data range
2Right-click a new cell, choose Paste Special, tick Transpose
3Delete the original data to avoid duplicates
4Check that no cell references or formatting broke in the process
5Repeat every time you get an updated export from the same source

5-10 minutes per file

Paste Special works but only on static values. Cell references break, and if the file is large you may need to transpose in chunks.

With Operelio

1Upload your file
2Choose Transpose, Unpivot, or Group across and set options
3Download the restructured file
4Re-run whenever your data refreshes

Under 10 seconds

Works on any file size. Your original data is never modified. Run it again whenever you get a new export.

The wrong shape might not be the only problem in that file

Upload it and Bridgeant reviews the file before you commit to a tool. It reports what it finds, orders the problems by how much they actually matter, and points you at the tool for each one. That is on every plan including Free, and it works from a summary of your file rather than the contents.

On Pro and up it stops advising and starts doing. Describe the job in a sentence and Bridgeant plans the steps, shows you the plan, and runs them in the right order once you approve. You are not running four jobs by hand and trying to remember which came first.

Common questions

Transpose & Unpivot FAQ

What is the difference between transpose and unpivot?

Transpose flips your entire table so rows become columns and columns become rows. Unpivot takes specific columns and collapses them into rows. For example, if you have Jan, Feb, Mar columns, unpivot turns them into a Month column and a Value column. Transpose is free, unpivot requires Pro.

Will transposing change any of my data?

No. Your original file is never modified. Operelio creates a new file with the transposed data. All cell values are preserved exactly as they were.

What does "use first column as headers" do?

When this option is on, the values in column A of your original file become the column headers in the transposed output. Useful when your first column contains labels like month names, metric names, or categories.

Can I transpose Excel files or only CSV?

Both. Upload .csv, .xlsx, or .xls files. The tool reads any of these formats and outputs the transposed result as CSV or Excel.

Does it work with multi-tab workbooks?

Yes. The tool reads the workbook's first tab by default, and a tab picker under the upload switches to any other, so you transpose exactly the tab you mean.

How big a file can I process?

Up to 2,000 rows on Free, 50,000 rows on Pro, 75,000 rows on Team, and 150,000 rows on Agency. File size limits are 2 MB on Free, 25 MB on Pro, 35 MB on Team, and 100 MB on Agency. This applies to all three modes.

When would I use unpivot instead of transpose?

Use unpivot when you have data spread across multiple columns that should really be rows. For example, if you have columns for Jan, Feb, Mar with revenue values, unpivot turns those into a Month column and a Revenue column. This format is what most charting tools expect.

What does Group across do?

Group across turns a long list with several rows per group into one row per group. A contact list with five rows for the same company becomes one row for that company, with the contacts numbered across: Contact name 1, Phone 1, Contact name 2, Phone 2. Some CRMs only accept contacts in this layout. Sets cap at 50 per row, and the results tell you if any rows were left out. Group across requires Pro.
