Create a new table based on specific row column data
- Anonymous1 year ago
Hi Anonymous ,
I create a table as you mentioned.
Then I think you can go to Power Query and you can use Advanced Editor.
let Source = Table.FromRecords({ [Number="A", A=null, B=1, C=1, D=null], [Number="B", A=1, B=null, C=1, D=null], [Number="C", A=1, B=1, C=null, D=null], [Number="D", A=null, B=null, C=null, D=null] }), Unpivoted = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Number"}, "Attribute", "Value"), Filtered = Table.SelectRows(Unpivoted, each [Value] = 1), Grouped = Table.Group(Filtered, {"Number"}, {{"Value", each Text.Combine(List.Transform([Attribute], Text.From), ","), type text}}) in GroupedSo you can get what you want.
Best Regards

Anonymous - The example provided by Anonymous was just that. The source step contains a static data table that recreates the data supplied in your screenshot.
You need to replace the code in the source step with a connection to your csv file, this should give you a start on that: https://goanalyticsbi.com/how-to-connect-to-csv-data-in-power-bi-desktop/
Then you need to make the code supplied matches the first column name in your CSV. If your first column is called Number it will work fine, if not, you need to make sure you change "Number" in the steps that begin with Unpivoted = and Grouped =
Anonymous - This isn't a problem for DAX to fix. This is best off done in Power Query.
I suggest you reveiw this video as there is likely to be some guidance as to how you can solve this challenge easily:

That video does not help - he is only truncating tables together. We need to create a new table based on the 'x' showing up in row/column combination as shown in the pictures...
