Hi, Let's say I have data in a table with columnames of key, col1, col2, col3. Note name of first column is key in this example- could be anything. Can I have this data converted into a table having these columns - key, colname, colvalue. Example Original data: Key, col1, col2, col3 1,a,b,c 2,p,q,r Should become Key, colname,colvalue 1,col1,a 1,col2,b 1,col3,c 2,col1,p 2,col2,q 3,col3,r Is this kind of a Transposition possible? R ---

Is this data that is already in Elasticsearch? If so look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/transforms.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/transforms.html) ---
