![The 1-Formula Fix for Excelβs Messiest Tables
Learn Python in Excel: https://www.xelplus.com/course/python-in-excel/
Sales data split across monthly columns? Heres how to reshape it into one clean table, with month, sales, and units each in their own column, using Python inside Excel.
=PY
pd.wide_to_long(sales_data, stubnames=[sales,units], i=sales rep, j=month, sep , suffix=.+).reset_index()
- Type =PY and press Tab to activate Python mode
- wide_to_long turns repeated column groups (like sales_Jan, units_Jan) into rows
- stubnames lists the values youre tracking
- i is your identifier column, like sales rep
- j names the new column that holds the month
- sep matches the separator in your source headers
- suffix=.+ means the leftover text can be anything
- reset_index() keeps everything aligned
- Right-click the Python output and choose Excel Value to drop it into cells
Add a new month to your source data and the table updates on its own.
Uses the pandas wide_to_long function. Check the pandas docs for the full reference.
