Hey all
Can we create a pivot table using Dataflow Gen2 as we do in Excel? I want the exact Pivot table, but not able to acheive it. Any examples would help.
Appreciate yoru help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @jashfabric
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
A Pivot Table has different layouts. Typically the "compact" view is something that goes beyond just a pivot table and goes into the visualization aspect. Power Query matches the "tabular view" layout that a pivot table can have in Excel. We do recommend using other tools, such as pivot tables or Power BI, for analytical purposes as Power Query is primarily aimed to be a Data Preparation tool.
Below is the documentation on how to pivot columns in Power Query:

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
