Pivot Data

Hi,

 

I am relevatively new to Power BI and have looked through a few of the previous posts regarding pivtoing data but I dont seem to find what I need. Below is an example data set, where the numer of sales of each car in each month is represented in the Mar-18/Apr-18 columns.

 

CarPriceMar-18Apr-18
Nissan$50012
Toyota$70034

 

What I need to do is pivot the data from the Mar-18 column, creating two new columns, Month and Sales and adding extra rows.

 

CarPriceMonthSales
Nissan$500Mar-181
Nissan$500Apr-182
Toyota$700Mar-183
Toyota$700Apr-184

 

This can be done in tableau, but I am having trouble with Power BI. Maybe I am missing something, any ideas?

 

Many Thanks,

 

JBPowerBI

@Anonymous  The best place to do this in PowerBI is in the Query Editor. Highliht the columns you want to unpivot and then chose unpivot from the Transorm menu. capture20180724004154474.png
