Hi vutruong91 ,
The easist way is on the query editor, select the columns Project and choose unpivot columns. This is my recommend way.
However you can also do this in DAX you can do the following formula:
DAX_Table = UNION ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( Projects_Dax; "DESCRIPTION"; Projects_Dax[Description]; "VALUE"; Projects_Dax[Project A]; "FOR"; "Project A" ); SELECTCOLUMNS ( Projects_Dax; "DESCRIPTION"; Projects_Dax[Description]; "VALUE"; Projects_Dax[Project B]; "FOR"; "Project B" ); SELECTCOLUMNS ( Projects_Dax; "DESCRIPTION"; Projects_Dax[Description]; "VALUE"; Projects_Dax[Project C]; "FOR"; "Project C" ); SELECTCOLUMNS ( Projects_Dax; "DESCRIPTION"; Projects_Dax[Description]; "VALUE"; Projects_Dax[Project D]; "FOR"; "Project D" ) )Check attach the PBIX file with both options.

Is there a way to do this for an unknown / changing number of project values, so that formulas don't have to be rewritten every time a new project value is added to the data table? Thanks!

You should use the unpivot on the power query.
That way there is no need to rewrite
