Hello!!!

I have a table connected to SQL that outputs a column for each month.
For working it better in Excel, I need to transforme that 12 columns to only 2... a first one for the values and the second for the respective month (that at this moment are the column titles).

In your opinion, which will be the better option (or if it dependes, advantages and desavantages):
a) a SQL command (not familiar to me);
b) use unpivot in Query Edit
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Sort by date Sort by votes
in sql you can

item + ' ' + item

you apply your sequence with

ORDER BY
10, 4 5, 7

Click to expand...

But that will sum all the values, correct? I still need the values for each month, so one row with JAN, FEV (...) NOV e DEZ will become twelve lines (I exchange clumns by rows)

no sum. it would bring together fields with a space

You should be able to use SQL to transpose columns/rows, perhaps using UNPIVOT.
