> [!tldr] The term for stacking tables into triples
**Unpivoting** is indeed the term for this kind of transformation:
FROM:
```csv
ID, Color, Size
A, Blue, Large
B, Green, Medium
```
TO:
```csv
ID, Key, Val
A, Color, Blue
A, Size, Large
B, Color, Green
B, Size, Medium
```
It's also called "**Melting**" in [[Pandas]] for the [[Python]] world. In [[Spreadsheet|Excel]] it's Unpivoting.
The opposite is called **Casting** and **[[Pivoting]]**
