Pivoting

I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm still struggling to make the data pivot in the way that I want it to.

 

I have a query connected to Power BI with data pulling back by week since 2016, like the following:

 

Year         Week          Sales        Inventory

2016         1                 100         200

2016         2                  104        208

....

2017         1                 132         294

2017         2                 88          105

........

 

I'd like to be able to pivot the table to line up like this:

 

Week          2016 Sales    2017 Sales   2016 Inventory   2017 Inventory

1                  100               132              200                     294

2                  104                88                208                    105

 

Anyone have advice?

In the Query Editor...

1) Unpivot Sales & Inventory

2) Merge Year and Atrribute

3) Pivot the Merged Column (Don't Aggregate)

As shown here...
