According to the docs for transpose, you need to have a 2 dimensional
array.
I believe the mistake you are making is creating a 1 item key with a 2
item value, rather than a 2 item key with a 1 item value.
Thus Dar's suggestion to make the data
1,23 33
2,12 67
Except that won't work either, since the keys have to be sequential.
This should:
1,1 33
1,2 67
1,3 44
2,1 58
2,2 12
2,3 34
I would read the page in the transcript reference for transpose- it
goes into detail that I'm just spitting back here.
