Assign date and time to values in columns

Hello everyone, 

 

I've been working with power BI around 4 months, and now I'm starting to get more complicated tasks in my work. I have a large dataset with a date column and several values columns (see annex):

Each "DXX" column represents a time of date in which a value was measured (for example, column D00 means the value was measured at 00:00 from the day of DATE colum (DATE_VAL); column D01 means the value was measured at 00:30... and so each half an hour). 

 

My question is: it is possible to arrange the existing DXX values by time in the date column? I guess some rows with the hour corresponding to each value must be added to the date column. 

 

What I have: 

 

DATED00D01D02D03
01/01/202032252421

 

What I would like: 

 

DATEVALUE
01/01/2020 00:3032
01/01/2020 01:0025
01/01/2020 01:3024
01/01/2020 02:0021

 

Thank you so much in advance for your answers, 

 

Cheers!!

Hi,

 

Please try to unpivot All 'Dxx' columns:

Then split the [Attribute] column:

After Apply&Close, please try to create a calculated column:

Column = FORMAT('Table'[Date]+TIME(0,'Table'[Attribute.2]*30,0),"YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS")

The result shows:

Here is my test pbix file:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Using the power query editor you could unpivot the DXX columns in order to achieve something like what you're after
