Formatting a table column into multiple lines

Im looking to either do this in DAX or Power query to create a new table where some of the colums need to become a row and duplicate some of the information in the row against the column.

 

Maybe easier to show in the example

    You can below steps to achieve the required outcome,

    1. Open your table in Power Query Editor as shown in below screenshot,


    2. Select the columns >> ID1, ID2, ID3, ID4 >> click on transform menu from menu bar >> Click on Unpivot Selected Columns option. Please refer to the below screenshot for the same.



    3. This will create two new columns as Attribute and Value. Rename the Value Column as “No”.


    4. Now Close and Apply the changes and add the table on the report with required columns as shown in the below screenshot.
