Row to Column Transformation

I have data in below format:

 

DateAsset IDValue
1/1/2022150
1/2/2022255
1/3/2022360
1/4/2022465


I would like to transform this table below:

 

A common date column, but each asset having its own column.  Any tips? Either as a calculated table or via Power Query.

 

DateAsset 1Asset 2Asset 3Asset 4Value

Hi @numersoz 

 

Is this an output you are looking for?

if yes, in Power Query select Asset and Value and use pivot column.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WckksSVXSUXIsLk4tUfB0ATLDEnNKU5VidaKVDPUN9Y0MjIyAgoZAbGoAFTWCiYKwqSlU1BgmagzEZjC1JjBRE5AoUG0sAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"(blank)" = _t, #"(blank).1" = _t, #"(blank).2" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"(blank)", type text}, {"(blank).1", type text}, {"(blank).2", type text}}),
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Date", type date}, {"Asset ID", Int64.Type}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type1", {{"Asset ID", type text}}, "en-AU"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type1", {{"Asset ID", type text}}, "en-AU")[#"Asset ID"]), "Asset ID", "Value"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{{"1", "Asset 1"}, {"2", "Asset 2"}, {"3", "Asset 3"}, {"4", "Asset 4"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"
