Pivoting Column changed my data field into column headers

image.pngHi, there's a comment section column from a Powerapps that makes some parts of some comments column headers. Please suggest how do i stop this from happening

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi there my good people. I found a solution to my earlier predicament. I hadn't noticed the slight but impactful mistake I made- I split my values column with a comma delimeter, which caused the few comments that had a comma in them get split as well. Ah, the tales of being an entry level data analyst starting with Power Bi... Thank you all for your messages!

That is exactly what pivoting does - very similar to what pivot  in Excel does. Post a workable sample data (not an image) and your expected result from that.
