Merging 2 rows by splitting one column
Hey! I want to know how can I split my column in the following way
I have data like: s1 1 2 3
s2 1 2 3
s3 1 2 3
and what I want is s1 s2 s3 1 2 3, all in one row. Is it possible to do this in power query ?
Thank You!
You may refer to the following code snippet.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKjZUMFQwUjBWitUBcoyQOcYwTiwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}), #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type", {{"Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(" ", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Column1"), #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Split Column by Delimiter"), #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Removed Duplicates",{{"Column1", Order.Ascending}}), #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Sorted Rows") in #"Transposed Table"

The following code gives you the values from column1 plus the other values from row 1 all in 1 row:
= Table.FromRows({Table1[Column1]&List.Skip(Record.FieldValues(Table1{0}))})If this is not what you are looking for, please provide a better explanation.

Hey,
it is ...
I started with this table
Than i selected the columns c1, c2, c3 and created a new column: Add column --> From Text --> Merge Columns
Than I selected the column "pivot" and pivoted the Transform --> Any Column --> Pivot Column
The result
Due to the fact that "Pivot column" need a Value column I'm not sure if this will work for you, but maybe you will give it a try
Regards
