Hi all
I have a list like
| List |
| 8 |
| abc |
| 2021.01.01 13:45:00 |
| 011010 |
How can I convert this list to a table? Is there a function or do I need to do it manually?
Should look something like
| Value | text | time | bit |
| 8 | abc | 2021.01.01 13:45:00 | 011010 |
Since the source is a list, transforming options like pivot, unpivot are not available.
Trying to convert the list in a table "to table" results in errors, since each row is another type.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Fount the solution
When converting "to table" you have to choose as a delimiter "none".
After that it is possible to transpose the table.

@Anonymous ,
Try unpivoting using power query.

Since this is a list, options like unpivot are not available. I think I have to use dax.
@Anonymous , with the first table it seems like a case for transpose table or unpivot

The problem is, it is not a table, therfore transpose or unpivot are not available. it's a list.
