Hi @Anonymous ,

 

As @parry2k  said, the prerequisite for the transformation is that there needs to be a column that can be used as a separate identification column, and an index index column can be created in the power query. Then put its field into the column. Refer to the following operation:

@Anonymous If you have same id for all the rows, you cannot do anything, you need to have a unique column on the rows, maybe add a index column in the power query and use that on the rows.
