Data Appearing as Rows Instead of Attributes (Columns)

blake_galbreath

Hello,

 

I am trying to get 2 entities from a website using Xpath:

//h:h2[(@class='uvIdeaTitle')]/h:a/text()

//h:div[(@class='uvIdeaVoteCount')]/h:strong/text()

 

I get all of the correct data, but they appear as sequential rows, instead of separate columns under the Results tab.

 

I am using the following process:

Read Excel > Get Pages > Data to Documents > Process Documents (Cut Document).

 

How can I retrieve the data in the following structure:

URL -- Idea Title -- Vote Count

instead of 

URL -- Idea Title

URL -- Vote Count

 

Thanks,

Blake

Hi @blake_galbreath 

 

You will need pivot operator.
