How do I transpose selected columns into rows

[JPY]

Hi all,

This is what I have at the moment:

This is what I want:

name	des
a	H12345
a	H45678
b	H44444
c	H55555
c	H66666
c	H77777
d	H88888

How would I go about doing this in the Power BI?

Appreciate any of your suggestions!

Best,

Here's how I would do it - unpivot all columns except name then tidy up (important steps in red):

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlTSUfIwNDI2MQUxTEzNzC2ADKVYnWilJLAICIBEoILJIEFTEAAxzEAAxDAHAbCCFBDXAgRgumIB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [name = _t, des = _t, #"1" = _t, #"2" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"name", type text}, {"des", type text}, {"1", type text}, {"2", type text}}),
    UnpivotAllExceptName = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"name"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    RenameToDes = Table.RenameColumns(UnpivotAllExceptName,{{"Value", "des"}}),
    RemoveAttribute = Table.RemoveColumns(RenameToDes,{"Attribute"}),
    RemoveBlankDes = Table.SelectRows(RemoveAttribute, each ([des] <> "" and [des] <> null))
in
    RemoveBlankDes
