The problem is to convert a crosstab table containing product style data, width, length, and price information to a row-based table.
The solution suggests using SPL XLL to perform the conversion. The SPL code provided performs column-to-row conversion based on the style column and renames it to 'Length'.
The original column names are transferred as values in the new 'Width' column, and the cross cell values are transferred as values in the new 'Price' column.
The code further selects rows with non-null price values, sorts them by width and length, and creates a new dataset with 'Width*Length' as values in the 'Style' column.
