How the Long to Wide Format Converter works
- Paste the data with its header row.
- Choose the direction and identify which column holds the names and which holds the values.
- Check the duplicate report. Duplicate key combinations are where a pivot loses data silently, and that is the failure worth catching.
FAQ
Which format should my data be in?
Long format for storage and most statistical tools, because adding a new metric adds rows rather than changing the schema. Wide format for reading and for spreadsheet presentation.
What happens to duplicates?
They are flagged. Two rows with the same identifier and key cannot both occupy one cell, so a pivot either aggregates or discards — and discarding silently is how data disappears without anyone noticing.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Reshaping happens in the browser, so the data stays on your device.
