    Unpivot a Table.

    The inverse operation of Pivot Table. The operation transforms data from a 
    wide to a narrow format. The wide form can be considered as a matrix of 
    column values, while the narrow form is a natural encoding of a sparse 
    matrix. When the data types of value columns differ, the varying data is 
    converted to a common data type so the source data can be part of one 
    single column in the new data set.
