Power Query - Pivot values to columns

Hi,

 

I have an ID with some other fields with 3 corresponding questions and a rate :

 

 ID  ....   QUESTION   RATE

A1  ....   Q1                 2

A1  ....   Q2                 3

A1  ....    Q3                 1

 

I would like to have this result :

ID  ....   Q1   Q2    Q3  

A1 ....   2      3       1

 

I need to do it in Power Query in order to be able to reproduce this transformation and use the same model for different CSV files but I am not able to do it because I can't use RATE in "Values Column", why ? How can i do it, please ?

 

Thank you !

@Anonymous Please try to pivot the Question column and select "Don't Summarize". Below is the code that you can paste in the Advanced Editor in Power Query Editor.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcjRU0lEKBBFGSrE6ML4RkDBG4hsDCUOl2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Question = _t, Rate = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", type text}, {"Question", type text}, {"Rate", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Question]), "Question", "Rate")
in
    #"Pivoted Column"
