How to view row data as column without loosing duplicate raw values - Power bi

Hi Friends, 

 

I'm working on a dashboard where I have the data in this format t1. 

t1

BranchOfficialNameRole
BarnetDavidTreasure
BedfordMikeSecretary
AngleseyAndyPresident
BedfordJohnSecretary

 

I would like to view the data so that the roles becomes a column and show officials under each roles like this . I tried to use Pivot in my store precedure before brining this data into power bi but my only problem using Pivot is that I had to use Max(Officialname) and due to which official who has duplicate roles under same branch were excluded and showed me the first row. For example In the branch "Bedford" there are two "Secretary" roles under officialname "John" and "Mike", using pivot I was getting only "Mike", I was wondering if there are any option in Powerbi to represent the data as shown in the second table t2 please. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

t2

BranchTreasurerSecretaryPresident
BarnetDavid  
Bedford Mike 
Anglesey  Andy
Bedford John

    Hi biswad ,

    Based on the information you provided, since the Rows of the matrix duplicate data will only be displayed once. You can add an index column. Use index and Branch as Rows.

    Hi biswad 

     

    Have you tried Pivoting the Role Column? you will have a different structure but you can keep the duplicates:

        Thank you, I have tried pivoting the branch, but I need to keep the same structure as shown in the second table, if I pivot the branch the branch name goes under "Treasurer","Secretary" and "President". I would like to keep official roles under each role.

      Hi speedramps thank you for this , however in this case I loose the duplicate roles under the same branch, for example  "Bedford" there are two "Secretary" roles under officialname "John" and "Mike", using this option I am getting only "Mike" not "John", the result is similar to Pivot. This was my issue, I wanted to bring both "John" and "Mike", again thank you for trying to help me out, much appriciated.
