Pivot column

You can use this step if you need 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).

Equivalent to the PIVOT clause in SQL.

This step is supported by the following backends:

  • Mongo 5.0
  • Mongo 4.2
  • Mongo 4.0
  • Mongo 3.6
