Hi All,

I am trying to convert data from a query into a print out. The table shows a list of skills along the top and the status for the employee in the table. I want to create a summarised printable sheet that converts that data to show:

Skill (e.g. IOSH Working Safely)
Status (e.g. Expiring Soon, Out of Date, Required, Not Required)
Name (I have removed surnames for screenshot, all are unique with an employee ID)

I cannot see how I can achieve this from the data in this format, I would be filtering out all but Required, Out of Date and Expiring Soon?

Thanks.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Thought I would post an update, I have managed to get the result I wanted by writing a macro with iterations, "for i to", to repeatedly convert data to a list in another sheet. I was really hoping to avoid as our network regularly messes up workbooks with VBA modules in them. Once its in a list, its easy to then create a pivot table from that and users can then use slicers to filter. If anyone else has an idea how I can achieve this list without the use of a macro, I would be really interested.

It appears that you just need to unpivot the Skill columns in your original picture.

The original data is not a pivot table. How would I un-pivot that data?

It’s a query to a simple spreadsheet, not using a table, using a named range. Whereby managers enter a date training has been completed. Or indicate not required. My lookup sheet converts dates and restricted entries to its status.

In the query editor, select all the non-skill columns, then right-click one and choose Unpivot other columns.
