How do I transpose a table grouped by the values in the first column?

I have a search that produces the following sample data:

ValueA    ValueB
A         1
A         2
A         3
B         1
B         4
B         5
C         2
C         3
C         4

I want to transpose ValueA as the columns and keep ValueB as the values such that I would have this:

A     B     C
1     1     2
2     4     3
3     5     4

It seems like it should be fairly straightforward and I've tried combinations of transpose, untable and xyseries but nothing quite seems to work. Thanks for the assistance!

Try like this

your current search giving fields ValueA and ValueB OR ends with | table ValueA ValueB
| eval temp=1 
| xyseries temp ValueA ValueB
| fields - temp

That worked with a tweak. Didn't realize I could just create a temporary value to pivot on. I needed matching values to pivot on so I had to add an accum and then xyseries on the accum value.

| eval Rank=1
| accum Rank
| eval Rank=((Rank-1)%10)
| xyseries Rank ValueA ValueB
