I'm trying to show the increase in the carbon output of each nation through time decade by decade, I have used a table join on the attribute table of a country boundry shape file and plotted the data in individual feature classes
And enabled time on each individual layer, however i'm still having trouble to animate the changes through time
the attribute table for each feature class looks like this
I've looked online but i can't seem to find an answer to my question, any pointers would be very much appreciated

Transpose Fields can flip your data if you have one field per display year. Transpose Fields—Data Management toolbox | Documentation
I recently created time-enabled school district enrollment maps. My data started out as separate tables; each containing one year's enrollment data for all Wisconsin school districts. Before joining with the spatial data layer, I used the Append tool to combine the tables with a newly created table that was formatted the way I wanted.
What exactly are you having issues with Daniel?
My first step would be to make the join permanent by saving it as a new feature.
I've saved the classes as a new feature, when i start the time slider the symbology does not change to reflect the new decade i am trying to show, all feature classes are copies of each other just showing a different field from the same attribute table
example of what is happening below:
You need the data to all be in one table not multiple, unless you only wish to show it through each decade.
The problem is that time is not read along the columns, you need to replicate a feature for every time.
Is there a tool that can help with this or will this be a manual process?
many thanks for your help
I would probably do it with python or other language, there's probably be a simpler way which I'm not aware of (as is mostly the case!)
If you upload a csv of the data I could write it up, or a sample of the schema if you do not wish to send the dataset.
Hi David
If you'd be willing to i'd be incredibly grateful! there is a transposition tool included in the program but i've spent the last few hours trying to get it to behave and so far had no luck
Here is the link to the data set

please let me know if you have trouble accessing it
Thanks again!
