Create new Table, filter empy values and concatenate values

Hi everyone,

I've recently connected a data source in PowerBI from a SharePoint List, which originates from a PowerApps form. The information I'm working with appears a bit disorganized as it's intended to record the attendance of participants in a meeting. Therefore, I'm looking to restructure it for better readability.

 

The data is presented across several columns, grouped by three main categories: NAME, COMPANY, and DEPARTMENT, each of which is followed by a numerical suffix (_01, _02, _03, etc.). To illustrate, please refer to the image below:

To streamline this data, I believe I need to create a new table. My plan is to filter out any missing values and then concatenate the columns to consolidate them into four distinct columns, as demonstrated in the following image:

Any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this efficiently would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Assuming this is all one table, you can do this in your transform data step (Table View --> Transform Data (under the home tab). Select the columns you want as 1 (e.g. Name_01, Name_02, etc.) and unpivot these. This should get you all names under one column. Repeat for your other fields

Thank you for your help, but in my case I am having a I/O trouble with the data connection since I managed to load the information from the Sharepoint List, as mentioned here-  But when I go to Power Query and  try to unpivot the columns, an error shows and tells me "We were unable to authenticate you with the credentials provided. Try again".
