New Table with Column Names from other table data

I am trying to create a new table that has a single row based on primary ID and column names from values in the data but I just can't get it to do it. There is no need for an calculations as value field is a string. Any help would be appreciated.

 

From this:

 

ID DateValue
Id 11/01/2019X
Id 15/01/2019Y
Id 17/01/2019Y
Id 22/01/2019X
Id 1 10/01/2019Z

 

to this:

 

IDXYZ
Id11/01/20197/01/201910/01/2019
Id22/10/2019  

 

  • Hello BBurnett ,

     

    You can achieve this with Pivot Function of Power Query, Go to Edit Query - Transform - Select value column - Pivot - then select Date from Drop Down and apply aggregation (if any) like Max date for the ID.

     

    Thank You,

  • Hey BBurnett ,

     

    just do that stuff in the ScreenGif. Be careful regarding the aggregation type. You have 2 dates for Y and need to decide what to do with it.

    If this post was helpful may I ask you to mark it as solution and give it some kudos?

    Have a nice day!
