Generate table with 3x columns from other table with 6 columns

[Anonymous]

Hey, I have the following problem shown in the picture.

I need to solve it with DAX language.

Are formulas useful here  like
A) Generateseries 
B) Addcolumns( Summarize ( ) ) 

How do I create this new table?

Hi  @Anonymous ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create calculated table.

Table 2 =
UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Year",'Table'[Year],"Employee","Cost Alex","Cost",'Table'[Cost Alex]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Year",'Table'[Year],"Employee","Cost Ben","Cost",'Table'[Cost Ben]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Year",'Table'[Year],"Employee","Cost Cris","Cost",'Table'[Cost Cris]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Year",'Table'[Year],"Employee","Cost David","Cost",'Table'[Cost David]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Year",'Table'[Year],"Employee","Cost Eric","Cost",'Table'[Cost Eric]))

2. Click [Year] to set as Sort ascending.

3. Result:

Hi @FrankAT 

unfortunatelly PowerQuery is not an option, as the initial table is already an extra table which was created with DAX.
I am looking for an DAX solution.

Hi @Anonymous ,

the easiest, shortes an best way to get the desired result is to use Power Query. Unpivot the Cost columns.
