Hi, I'm asking for help creating a custom table which creates multiple rows out of each original row in my PowerBI dataset. Please excuse me if this has already been answered.
The scenario:
I imported an excel file into my project with this table (let's name it "Customers"):
Customer | BoughtInStore | BoughtOnline | BoughtByReferral |
Bob | Y | Y | |
Jane | Y | Y | Y |
Jenny | Y |
Without leaving PowerBI and creating external excel files, I want to create a new query or table (not a measure) in my project which looks like this:
Customer | Stage |
Bob | BoughtInStore |
Bob | BoughtOnline |
Jane | BoughtInStore |
Jane | BoughtOnline |
Jane | BoughtByReferral |
Jenny | BoughtInStore |
My new table will create a row for each customer and for each stage that they've been marked in the original Customers tables.
How can I acheve this?
Thank you in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous this can be easily achieved using the "Unpivot" transformation in Power Query.
After importing your table, select the "Customer" column, and from the Transform tab, select "Unpivot Columns" >> "Unpivot Other Columns".
Then, filter the "Value" column to keep only "Y", and finally, remove the Value column.

Amazing, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!
