Transform Data, List into individual rows
Hi Anonymous ,
This can be done adding a new column with the following code:
Table.FromColumns ( {Text.Split ([Country], ", ") , Text.Split ([Value], ", ")})The you just need to expand the table and delete the other columns that you don't need.
Complete code for the Query below:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WciwtLilKzMlM1FFwc/KL0lHwzEvJz0stzkxU0lEy1VEwNNBRMDJQitWJVoLIwzUA5UGSpmA538ScxEqoJqXYWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Country = _t, Value = _t]), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Country.1", each Table.FromColumns ( {Text.Split ([Country], ", ") , Text.Split ([Value], ", ")})), #"Expanded Country.1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Country.1", {"Column1", "Column2"}, {"Country.1.Column1", "Country.1.Column2"}), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Country.1",{"Country", "Value"}), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Country.1.Column1", "Country"}, {"Country.1.Column2", "Value"}}) in #"Renamed Columns"This was based on the video below.
Super UserHi Anonymous,
In the query editor select the column and split rows by delimiter, check the documentation link below.

Hi Miguel,
This action wont let me to get the desired result, because I have multiple options on both the columns. Is there a way to split both the colums simultaneously, without affecting the values?
