Unpivot Columns of Calculated Table

I have reviewed posts with a similar problem but I'm still having trouble unpivoting select columns from a calculated table. The table looks like this:

Data[Fall Year][Total UG][FY+50NotCL][FY+35NotCL][2Y+50NotCL][2Y+35NotCL]
2013178423652580374
2012174693063569889
2014178693081996267
202119629589511377160
2015181193072189564
20161855538225100077
201819709376401304135
201920132486451263122
201719103423441210118
20202035513411191971231

 

and I need a table that looks like the sample below, and would be SO EASY if I could use Power Query. Could someone help me with the DAX to do this? (Sample of top 20 rows)


Data[Fall Year][Total UG]ScenarioBed Count
201317842[FY+50NotCL]365
201317842[FY+35NotCL]25
201317842[2Y+50NotCL]803
201317842[2Y+35NotCL]74
201217469[FY+50NotCL]306
201217469[FY+35NotCL]35
201217469[2Y+50NotCL]698
201217469[2Y+35NotCL]89
201417869[FY+50NotCL]308
201417869[FY+35NotCL]19
201417869[2Y+50NotCL]962
201417869[2Y+35NotCL]67
202119629[FY+50NotCL]589
202119629[FY+35NotCL]51
202119629[2Y+50NotCL]1377
202119629[2Y+35NotCL]160
201518119[FY+50NotCL]307
201518119[FY+35NotCL]21
201518119[2Y+50NotCL]895
201518119[2Y+35NotCL]64

Hi @UBComma ,

 

Please check the formula:

Table 2 = 
var _2Y35 = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Data[Fall year]",'Table'[Data[Fall Year]]],"Total UG",'Table'[[Total UG]]],"Scenario","[2Y+35NotCL]","Bed Count",'Table'[[2Y+35NotCL]]])
var _2Y50 = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Data[Fall year]",'Table'[Data[Fall Year]]],"Total UG",'Table'[[Total UG]]],"Scenario","[2Y+50NotCL]","Bed Count",'Table'[[2Y+50NotCL]]])
VAR _FY35 = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Data[Fall year]",'Table'[Data[Fall Year]]],"Total UG",'Table'[[Total UG]]],"Scenario","[FY+35NotCL]","Bed Count",'Table'[[FY+35NotCL]]])
VAR _FY50 = SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Data[Fall year]",'Table'[Data[Fall Year]]],"Total UG",'Table'[[Total UG]]],"Scenario","[FY+50NotCL]","Bed Count",'Table'[[FY+50NotCL]]])
return
UNION(_2Y35,_2Y50,_FY35,_FY50)

@Anonymous thank you, this is a very elegant solution

@UBComma ,

A new table like

 

Union (
Summarize( Data, Data[Fall Year], "Data", [Total UG], "Scenario", "FY+50NotCL", "Value", Sum(Data[FY+50NotCL])),
Summarize( Data, Data[Fall Year], "Data", [Total UG], "Scenario", "FY+35NotCL", "Value", Sum(Data[FY+35NotCL])),
Summarize( Data, Data[Fall Year], "Data", [Total UG], "Scenario", "2FY+50NotCL", "Value", Sum(Data[2FY+50NotCL])) ,
Summarize( Data, Data[Fall Year], "Data", [Total UG], "Scenario", "2FY+35NotCL", "Value", Sum(Data[2FY+35NotCL]))
)

 

 

you can use selectcolumns in place of summarize
