Pivot column in power query editor using data connected to a folder

[smallfires0628]

My data source is from a SharePoint folder. When connecting the data to Power Query Editor, I want to transform it into a pivot table using the function Pivot Column. However, there are some fields/values in the table that I want to remain untouched from the pivot column transformation. What I would do, in that case, is to duplicate the table and then transform said duplicated table into a pivot table. However, will the pivot table update if the data in my SharePoint folder is updated? Or to put it another way, is duplicating the table the right way for me to achieve the effect I want it to achieve?

@smallfires0628 

could you share the sample data and also your expected result?

[smallfires0628]

My data connected from the SharePoint folder is something like this. I'll call it Table1.

Booking ID	Financial Account	Amount	Customer	Supplier
HD12	Table sales	10	A	AB
HD12	Table sales	5	B	DF
HD12	Chair sales	10	C	GH
HD12	Chair sales	5	D	TO
HD24	Table sales	10	E	PI
HD24	Table sales	6	D	OV
HD24	Chair sales	10	F	GH
HD24	Chair sales	6	Y	DI

I want to create a pivot table using Pivot Column in Power Query Editor. For that, I only need the columns Booking ID, Financial Account, and Amount. But I want to keep the columns "Customer" and "Supplier" in Table1, as I will use them for other purposes. 

So, in that case, I'll duplicate Table1, delete columns "Customer" and "Supplier." The new table without columns Customer and Supplier is Table2. I'll use Table2 to create a pivot table.

If I update the data in my SharePoint folder, I know that Table1 will update, as they are connected. But will Table2 update as well, as it's just a duplication?

Assuming your question is: 

I know that Table1 will update, as they are connected. But will Table2 update as well, as it's just a duplication?

Yes, the duplicate table will also update if the data in the sharepoint changes. All you need to do is to set up the refreshe schedule from power bi service or if you are working only in desktop then you need to manually refresh your report.

Can you please provide Expected Results too

The pivot table would be something like this: 

So I don't need column "Customer" and "Supplier" but I would like to keep them anyway because I need them for other purposes.

You can do this by single table if that is what you are expecting. Please find the screenshot below
