@jinweitan , In power Query you have to unpivot

refer https://radacad.com/pivot-and-unpivot-with-power-bi

You may have to unpivot twice - https://kohera.be/blog/power-bi/how-to-unpivot-twice/

Hi @jinweitan ,

 

1. Click the "Transform data" button to get into the Power Query Editor page.

2. Choose the table on the left and right-click the ID column.

3. Choose Unpivot other columns.

You may need to duplicate your table and unpivot them separately.

 

Then using the merge function to get what you desired table.

 

Please try.
