Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please try:

New Table = 
var _t1=SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Name",[Column1],"Start",[Column2],"End",[Column3])
var _t2=SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Name",[Column1],"Start",[Column4],"End",[Column5])
return FILTER( DISTINCT( UNION(_t1,_t2)) ,[Start]<>BLANK() && [End]<>BLANK())

Hi @Anonymous 

 

If you go into Power Query, you can select all columns you want to unpivot. Right click on the header of one and click Unpivot Columns.

 

Hopefully gets you the results you're after.

 

All the best.

Theo
