If you have an Oracle Database installed beside Oracle Analytics, you can use Data Flow Database analytics function to pivot and unpivot data. See youtube video here: PreviewPreview3:41OAC 5.7 - Unpivot with Database Analytics NodeYouTube · Oracle AnalyticsJul 21, 2020

If you're sourcing the dataset from a connection you'd be able to leverage the built in SQL Pivot function in the Manual Query selection step.

In Oracle Analytics Desktop there is the ability to apply scripts to a data flow.

There is an example script located here

Note:  Running a script in a data flow is only available in Oracle Analytics Desktop.
