Pivoting maximum date for group
Hi all
I want to pivot my data by group and maximum data. See suggested solution below:
I'm not sure this is the correct approach to do it, but it was the one that seemed most logical to me.
Not
Hi,
You should be able to do this with Power query. Refer the Screenshots below.
Under Transform -> Group By -> Advanced (Radio Button)
Under Operation-> Select the Date Column-> Select option MAX()
Upon calculating the MAX Date Values. Not Select the Column and Click on UnpivotColumns Option.

I picked the pivot button instead of unpivot as that is the operation I am looking for.
I get this for the first step, which is correct:
I do however get the error message when I pivot the data:
"Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value null to type Text.
Details:
Value=
Type=[Type]"I have looked through my data but there are no Null values.
Can you help?
Hi,
You will need to select the list of Columns that you want to Unpivot. Also, Check if the columns have null values.
If you are still unsure about this, then Share this PBIX with me and I shall complete it for you.
