# Unpivot The Unpivot step allows to to transform columns into rows. It is the reverse operation of a `pivot` step. Unpivoting columns into a unique column means that every unpivoted column header will be used as a label in the output unique column. The columns get unpivoted “around” fixed columns that you can specify. The step creates two new columns: a `variable` column where you can find the labels corresponding to the unpivoted columns headers, and a `value` column where you can find the value for every label. ### Step parameters * `Keep columns...`: the columns to remain fixed, around which the unpivot will occur * `Unpivot columns...`: the columns to be unpivoted * `Drop null values...`: whether to drop rows if their value is null in the output `value` column ### Example **Input**
