    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    what you are trying to achieve can not be done in Power BI directly, you will have to make use of Power Query.

     

    1. Create a table with the years you need, by using the "Enter Data"-function in Power Query. Call it e.g. Years.

    2. In your Hotel-table, use the "Add Custom Column"-function, and add the Years-table. It will not be visible in the pop-up window, so you will have to manually type the name.

    3. You will now see a new column labled Years(or whatever you called it), with a small Expand-button in the header of the column. Click on this, and voila.
