Hi Guys

I am looking for a workflow to Create SHP file attributes from an excel spreadsheet. The problem I am having, is I can only see a way to extract column headings as Attributes. How do I take attribute titles from the cells below the column heading. I hope that makes sense....

Basically, I have an Excel document with Standard Asset data that needs to be included in our SHP files according to discipline. So I have used FME to Test for "Subclass" & "Item_Name", which works great, then I want to extract that list in the "Attribute_name" column to SHP attributes.

Thanks

Martin

If I understood correctly, you want to "transpose" the table, convert the rows into columns and vise versa. If that is the case you could have a look in the following post:

There is also available in the FME hub the attributetransposer, where you define the attributes that you want to convert its entries into new attributes:
