I want to make new columns with category name X, M, W beinging separated. 

 

For example I have to have column with only M values in it and same should be with X and W.

 

Do I have any leads ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hey @The8 ,

 

based on that table you can add the columns with the conditional column feature in PowerQuery:

Add a conditional column - Power Query | Microsoft Learn

 

If you need any help please let me know.
