Dynamic Column

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have the three coluns in my report mentioned below:

Is there a way that I can tranform them so that the end result can look like a column1 : ForecastedGrossRevenue Jan'2013, column 2: ForecastedGrossRevenue Feb'2013 and so on.

I want the data to be shown horizontally.

Regards,

Himanshu

Hi, @Anonymous 

According to your description, I can roughly understand your requirement, I think you can achieve this in the Power Query editor, you can try my steps:

1. Create a custom column like this:

2. Remove other columns except these two columns, then click “Piovit columns” and select like this:

3. Then click “Apply and close”, and you can get what you want, like this:

This is my M code in the advanced editor:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwNNa10DVU0gEyTQyMgbSZoZ6RoVKsDlTSEixpaGluYgqkTS11jEwQkoYG2LTGAgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [EXPECTINMONTH = _t, FORECASTEDUSAGE = _t, ForecastedGrossRevenue.1 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"EXPECTINMONTH", type date}, {"FORECASTEDUSAGE", Int64.Type}, {"ForecastedGrossRevenue.1", type number}}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"ForecastedGrossRevenue.1", "ForecastedGrossRevenue"}}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"EXPECTINMONTH", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Custom", each "ForecastedGrossRevenue "&[EXPECTINMONTH]),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"EXPECTINMONTH", "FORECASTEDUSAGE"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[Custom]), "Custom", "ForecastedGrossRevenue", List.Sum)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

You can download my test pbix file here

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.

I'm getting an error while creating the custom column.

Hi, @Anonymous 

Sorry, I just missed one step before creating the custom column, you should first go to change the type of the column [EXPECTINMONTH] to “Text”:

Then you can add the custom column and check if it can work, you should also make sure the column name is same as yours in the expression.
