Use the DAX function to create an unpivot table. Create one for Profit and a separate table for Cost and then create a relationship using the Product column,

TB_ProfitByYear =

UNION (
SELECTCOLUMNS (
Sheet1,
"Product", Sheet1[Product],
"Year", 2017,
"Profit", Sheet1[2017 Profit]
),
SELECTCOLUMNS (
Sheet1,
"Product", Sheet1[Product],
"Year", 2018,
"Profit", Sheet1[2018 Profit]
),
SELECTCOLUMNS (
Sheet1,
"Product", Sheet1[Product],
"Year", 2019,
"Profit", Sheet1[2019 Profit]
)
)

Hi,

You will not be able to solve this problem because there is no product column in Table2.

@Anonymous , In the first table, you can unpivot the three profit year column and then split them.

Then create a common year column and join to both tables
