# Pivot The Pivot step allows to transform rows into columns. It is the reverse operation of an `unpivot` step. Pivoting a column into several columns means that every unique label found in that column becomes a column header. The column gets pivoted “around” fixed columns that you can specify. You also need to specify a value column where values will be found to fill pivoted columns. If aggregation needs to be performed, you can choose the aggregation function (`sum` by default). ### Step parameters * `Keep columns...`: the columns to remain fixed, around which the pivot will occur * `Pivot column...`: the column to be pivoted * `Use values in...`: the columns where values are found to fill the pivoted columns * `Aggregate values using...`: the aggregation function to be used when aggregation has to be performed ### Example **Input**
