Cross Tab Tool
Use Cross Tab to pivot the orientation of data in a table by moving vertical columns onto a horizontal axis and summarizing data where specified.
The Cross Tab tool is the reverse application of the Transpose Tool, which pivots the orientation of the data from horizontal to vertical. There is no limit to the number of rows or columns that you can pass through Cross Tab.
If 2 or more cells contain the same string with different capitalization, a number is appended to the string name after the first instance. For example, ColumnID and columnId become ColumnID and columnId2.
