I'm new Power BI and am trying to import data that is irregular. Specifically:
Date | Order# | Attribute group where there are 3 attributes that can repeat 0 to many times (e.g. Color, Size, Quantity)
I'm trying to get the data so that it would fit into a structured table like:
Date | Order# | Color | Size | Quantity
For an example, if I have the following data:
6/27/17 | 00001 | Red, Large, 3
6/27/17 | 00002 | Blue, Medium, 2 | Yellow, Medium, 4 | Green, Small, 1
I'm trying to transform it to:
Date | Order# | Color | Size | Quantity
6/27/17 | 00001 | Red | Large | 3
6/27/17 | 00002 | Blue | Medium | 2
6/27/17 | 00002 | Yellow | Medium | 4
6/27/17 | 00002 | Green | Small | 1
I've seen various posts and tried to un-pivot the data, but that doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts on what I need to do?

Thanks @Vvelarde!! This works great!
I had been splitting the grouped data first and then trying to un-pivot. The trick is to unpivot the GROUPED data, and THEN split the grouped data into the regular columns.
Thanks again!
