Dear community,
I have an employee list that is updated every month. Static stuff (employee ID, Name, Company entry and exit, gender etc.) are stored in a Dimension table and variable stuff (organisational unit,line manager, pay grade) in a fact table.
Now: How can I get entry and exit date into a dimension table with one row for each employee from an Excel table that has one entry per employee and month?
Source:
ID | Employee | Month/year | gender | org. unit | line manager | pay grade |
1 | John Doe | 03-2023 | male | … | ||
1 | John Doe | 04-2023 | male | |||
1 | John Doe | 05-2023 | male | |||
1 | John Doe | 06-2023 | male | |||
1 | John Doe | 07-2023 | male | |||
2 | Melissa Smith | 04-2023 | female | |||
2 | Melissa Smith | 05-2023 | female | |||
2 | Melissa Smith | 06-2023 | female | |||
2 | Melissa Smith | 07-2023 | female | |||
2 | Melissa Smith | 08-2023 | female | |||
3 | Tim Ding | 08-2023 | male |
Desired Dimension table output:
ID | Employee | Entry | Leave | gender |
1 | John Doe | 03-2023 | 07-2023 | male |
2 | Melissa Smith | 04-2023 | 08-2023 | female |
3 | Tim Ding | 08-2023 | 08-2023 | male |
I could get either entry or leave using GroupBy but not both.
I could duplicate the data, do GroupBy in each and then recombine them or put the months in the fact table and evaluate using DAX, but I believe there is a better way to do it in PowerQuery. Any idea?
Thanks!

try this code
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUfLKz8hTcMlPBTIv7Lmw4WKDnpExkJ2bmJOqFKuDqWbDhf0E1QDNubCTgJodF/su7CVCzW40NUZAjm9qTmZxcaJCcG5mScahBWjOSkslpBjJfYQVIzmUOMW7iVW84cKmC5sxFIO4IZm5Ci6ZeeloqiBqYgE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [D = _t, #"Employee " = _t, #"Month/year " = _t, #" gender " = _t]),
