Pivot multiple columns

[s15]

Hi guys,

I have a dataset like below

I'm finding the way to pivot years into a column named Years. And 5 countries shall be in 5 column headers.

If I use Transpose then I seem to lose all years.

Please follow steps below:

1. Unpivot all years columns.

2. Then rename the Attribute column into Year.

3. Pivot Country column.

See entire M query:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCg1W0lEyBGITIDZXitWJVnJOzEtMSQRyjYDYFIgtwMJuRYl5yalArjEQmwGxpVJsLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Country = _t, #"1999" = _t, #"2000" = _t, #"2001" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Country", type text}, {"1999", Int64.Type}, {"2000", Int64.Type}, {"2001", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Country"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Attribute", "Year"}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Renamed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Renamed Columns"[Country]), "Country", "Value", List.Sum)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"
