Question

I need to transpose rows into columns in MS Access database, VBA, SQL both the codes are welcome.

Table

    | Name | Ticker | ID | Innovation | Quality |         


        

Answer 1

Access TRANSFORM is not really intuitive and easy to use and I do not think you can use it that way. Each result row is supposed to be an aggregate of your table. I know of no way to get the previous field names into a new column.

See a working example: TRANSFORM and PIVOT in Access 2013 SQL

What you really seem to want is just a new presentation to the existing data.

Excel might help.

I have never exported pdf from Access but from Excel is easy. Here is an example:

Sub ExportPdf(path As String, Optional openAfter As Boolean)

''calculate best range for print area
Dim lastCol As Integer
Dim firstRow As Integer
Dim lastRow As Integer

lastCol = pt.TableRange2.Columns(pt.TableRange2.Columns.Count).Column
firstRow = pt.TableRange2.Rows(1).Row
lastRow = ms.Cells(pt.TableRange2.Rows.Count * 3, 1).End(xlUp).Row

Worksheets(ContextSheet).PageSetup.PrintArea = Range(Cells(firstRow, 1), Cells(lastRow, lastCol)).Address

Worksheets(ContextSheet).ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
    path & "\Area " & getPivotTablePageFilters(getPivotTable()) & ".pdf", Quality:= _
    xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
    OpenAfterPublish:=openAfter
End Sub
