    Hi,

    This M code works

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8stMzlbSUQoNdlSK1YlWckrMSQRyPfNSMhPBAt6JJalAAde89JzEvBSwkG9+aV4JmlhAaU5mcSaySQGpOSCNTkWJVZk5UKOyE1FFwjKLEksQ1sUCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Sales man" = _t, Country = _t]),
    Partition = Table.Group(Source, {"Country"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index",1,1), type table}}),
    #"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"Sales man", "Index"}, {"Sales man", "Index"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Expanded Partition", List.Distinct(#"Expanded Partition"[Country]), "Country", "Sales man"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Index"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

    Hope this helps.

Hi,

Before creating a Pivot, you should assign occurence numbers to Countries in another column, say Index.  The first occurence of each country should show 1 and successive enries of that country should show 2,3 etc.  This can be done in the Query Editor.  Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel worksheet.
