Hi @Anonymous,

In direct model, we can't create a new table in Power BI desktop. Could you please share your sample data, and I will check if I can achieve it using Query Editor? It's hard to reproduce your scenario without sample table.

Hi @Anonymous,

In Query Editor, please select ActType1, ActType11, ActType12 and so on->click "unpivot columns" under Transfer one Home page, all the values in ActType1, ActType11, ActType12 columns will enter into one column. For example, I want to comebine Jobtitle and Department.

Hi @Anonymous,

You mean other column's data has been changed? Yes, it does.  For your scenario, if you combine all columns to one. You create several tables likeTableA including A, B, C, ActType1, TableB including A, B, C, ActType2, TableB including A, B, C, ActType3. Then you can append them to one table.
