Converting rows to columns in Power BI

 Does anyone know to make the right table turn into table on the left side where if the employee ID's section name is there, it will change from rows in a column to new columns

  • Hello,

     

    It looks like you're probably looking for the unpivot functionality in Power Query. See this article in the documentation for more details. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions after taking a look at the link. 😄

      Step 1: I've unpivot the selected column
      Step 2: I pivot-ed the Value column in Step 1 and now the final looks of the table became like this. How do I make it into Table No. 3?

        Hello,

         

        I found a different thread that covers your new scenario exactly. They wrote a function to flatten the rows like you want. You may need to replace all the 0s with nulls, either as separate steps (right click each column and click Replace Value) or adding it into their function when you modify it to fit your use case). 😄
