Help with column formatting in a relation many to many

[julianst24]

Hi community, im in need for som help with this issue.

I have two columns (MTM and SBB), where i can have at the most 7 SBB for 1 MTM. i need the easiest way to pivot (or create a new table) where i can have the column MTM with unique values and 7 SBB columns so i can then connect that table by MTM to other tables and relate any SBB i want.

in the current table there are lot of rows containing the same MTM but different SBB so i cannot lookupvalue differents SBBs.

Can you help me? thanks in advance!

@julianst24 I guess this is what you are looking for, add a RANK column and then in matrix visual, put MTM on rows, Rank on column and SBB on values, and select aggregation as First or Last.

Rank = 
RANKX ( FILTER( ALL ( MTM ), MTM[MTM] = EARLIER ( [MTM] ) ), MTM[SBB], , ASC )

@julianst24 still not very clear but you can create table in the DAX using the following expression:

Unique MTM = DISTINCT ( Table[MTM] )

the thing is i would need from this

MTM SBB

1         A

2         B

1         C

this:

MTM SBB1 SBB2 SBB3

1         A        C

2         B

where each SBB is extracted from the first table

Hope this clears it out better, thx

@julianst24 what will happen if the same MTM is for two SBB, what this new table will do? What SBB will be used when you create a unique MTM list with SBB?

It really doesnt matter while i have a MTM column with unique values, and 7 SBB columns with all the SBBs for that MTM. Never mind if i have repeated SBBs while i mantain the uniqueness in the MTM column. thanks for answering!!
