Table view with rows/columns switched
These days I am working on my other site www.ggsipu.info to build the database of all the colleges affiliated to GGSIPU. I created a Custom Content Type to have various fields like college address, phone, fax, email, rating, etc. During the counselling time the students wants to compare various colleges based on various parameters like infrastructure, campus and other things. Now I wanted to create a view where a table is shown with the names of the colleges in the header and these parameters on rows.

This views snippet allows you to render a tableview with columns and rows switched. Suppose you have the following output:
-
-
Title | Price 1 | Price 2
-
----------------------------
-
Node #1 | $10 | $20
-
Node #2 | $15 | $25
-
-
but what you really want is the node titles displayed in the header, and the prices as the rows:
-
| Node #1 | Node #2
-
----------------------------
-
Price 1 | $10 | $15
-
Price 2 | $20 | $25
I created a view table, but obviously it showed the college names in the rows as it is the dynamic part. I searched around a lot on drupal and google and found this amazing piece of code that transpose the rows/columns.
You just need to replace YOURTHEME with the name of the theme and VIEWNAME with the view name and that's it!
