Table transformation

Hello,

 

I am trying to transform a table which is:

ClientEstatAnyImport
EULínea base201710000
EUAdjudicat20173000
EUEn contractació20172000
EUEn contractació20185000
EUAdjudicat201810000
EULínea base201820000

 

And I would like to transform it, so that I had a new "Estat" called "Pendent" with the calculation "Pendent" = "Línea base" - "Adjudicat" - "En contractació". The resulting table would be:

 

ClientEstatAnyImport
EUPendent20175000
EUAdjudicat20173000
EUEn contractació20172000
EUEn contractació20185000
EUAdjudicat201810000
EUPendent20185000

 

This transformation would enable me to represent a stacked column chart I am looking for.

 

Could anyone shed a light please?

 

Thank you in advance!

    The suggested (un)pivot solution could look like this:

     

    let
    Source = Table1,
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Source, List.Distinct(Source[Estat]), "Estat", "Import"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Pivoted Column", "Pendent", each [Línea base] - [Adjudicat] - [En contractació], Int64.Type),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Línea base"}),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Removed Columns",{"Client", "Any", "Pendent", "Adjudicat", "En contractació"}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Reordered Columns", {"Client", "Any"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Columns"

      Hi,

       

      Thanks but I am afraid this doesn't work with my request. My calculation depends on only one column "Import".

       

      I appreciate any other help you could provide me!

       

      Thank you very much.

        Now I understand!

         

        1. Right Click on the table in query Editor and Click "Rerence". Do this 3 times and call every tables coresponding to the "Estat" Values "Línea base" ,"Adjudicat", "En contractació" for example.
        2. Filter every table to only display the corresponding Estat value "Línea base" ,"Adjudicat", "En contractació". (Click on the Arrow in the column header and filter it) and call the coumns "Línea base" - "Adjudicat" - "En contractació".
        3. Now you can join the tables based on the  columns "client" and "any" or any other kind of identification column(s) in one new table.
        4. Now you have 3 columns next to each other with the values of "Línea base" ,"Adjudicat", "En contractació" and you can use a custom column.
        5. Dont forgeht to disable "Enable Load" on the intermediate querys which you dont need in your final data model and RAM (Right click on querys and Disable"Enable Load").

        Does this help you`?
