returning multiple dates from multiple rows in a single row
I'm incredibly new to powerBI, only started last week,please be gentle!
I 4 calculated columns, each returning a unique date for a specific ID, it looks like this when I put it into as table:
| ID | Date1 | Date2 | Date3 | Date4 |
| 1 | %DateValue% | |||
| 1 | %DateValue% | |||
| 1 | %DateValue% | |||
| 1 | %DateValue% |
It works, but it's very clunky, so I'd like to have it display like this:
| ID | Date1 | Date2 | Date3 | Date4 |
| 1 | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% |
| 2 | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% |
| 3 | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% |
| 4 | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% | %DateValue% |
I've been playing around with a few things, importing the data (from CSV) into another table and manipulating it there with relationships on the ID etc. but I just don't understand what's happening there well enough to get this working. Can anyone help?

Hi BenMoores
You can do it easily in Power Query, go to Transform Data > select your table > Home > Group By > set everything as on the screenshot below and click ok.
also, see the attached for reference.

LinkedInThanks for the reply Mariusz 🙂 As the data is in calculated columns, I'm not able to bring that into the transform. I'll google and see if there's a way to do this but it seems it might not be possible
Hi BenMoores
Instead of Calculated column, you can create a custom column in Power Query and perform group by ( as explained by Mariusz )
You can read up here ( how to add a custom column in Power BI)
