How to transpose Day of Month columns to rows in a table?

Hi Folks,

 

I have data in Excel originally like below to be imported to Power BI:

In the Edit Quries I want to transpose the month to a new column and have the amount show in a new column but keep the first 4 columns (BU, Obj Acc, Sub, Desription) unchanged, like below:

However, when I use the transpose function in "Transform" tab the first 4 columns will get transposed too.

Is there a way I can shape my data the way I expected?

Thank you your help in advance, I have tried so many different ways in Power BI but no success.  I really need someone's advice.

Hi @clubspec,

Sounds like Unpivot Other Columns will help you out.  Select the first four columns, then select Unpivot other Columns, and rename the new columns.

It works, didn't know it is that easy.  I'm a Power BI beginner.
