Helper I30/60/90 Day Filter from multiple columns
I'm doing a direct query to a SQL DB to pull all the go-live dates for a group of projects and present them in table form to show the go-lives in the next 30 days, another table for 30-60 days and another table for 60-90 days. I believe I've found posts to cover that part using a summary table, the issue I'm seeing is that I need this filter to look at 15 different columns for each project for these dates as we have projects with multiple go-lives. The end result would look something like this:
Hi kp_wood13 ,
Try to unpivot these date columns to get an attribute column contains headers and a value column contains dates.
Possible solutions:
1. Change the connection mode to import mode, and unpivot multiple date columns in Power Query to get one date column.
Unpivot columns - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
Power Query will always create the attribute-value pair by using two columns:
- Attribute: The name of the column headings that were unpivoted.
- Value: The values that were underneath each of the unpivoted column headings.
2.In the data source, SQL DB, unpivot multiple columns to get one date column.
Using PIVOT and UNPIVOT - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn
With single date column, you can easily filter.
