Merging Rows and Columns

[mglomb]

I have a database where the main ID is the core (repeated) value, and each additional column has its own data.

I want to merge rows and columns in a way that each row has all the columns filled, and I can have a single view of each core ID.

What is the best way to do that?

Hi, @mglomb ;

You could group by in power query .

The final output is shown below:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQ0VNJRMjTQNzLUNzIwAnEgyCkxL1EhL1EpVgemCKIOpMzAEKEGXQkQWepbwMxCUmFkbAKWA9kFkQSykS31L0rMS09FUgtBFvrGMEVIKkxMzaDuNkB1d0BqYnIGmhJDrEpiAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Id = _t, Date1 = _t, #"Date 2" = _t, #"Date 3" = _t, Description = _t]),
    #"Changed Type with Locale" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source, {{"Date1", type date}, {"Date 2", type date}, {"Date 3", type date}}, "en-US"),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type with Locale", {"Id"}, {{"Date1", each List.Max([Date1]), type nullable date}, {"Date2", each List.Max([Date 2]), type nullable date}, {"Date3", each List.Max([Date 3]), type nullable date}, {"Descripition", each List.Max([Description]), type nullable text}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"

@mglomb ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
Appreciate your Kudos.

You can check for fill up and filldown and pivot and unpivot options in power query

Thank you for trying to help. I've drawn a simple example of what the database look and what I'm trying to achieve. Please see below:
