Power Query Unpivot help!

Hi there,

 

I have data which I need to unpivot as shown below:

 


Please note there are many customers and attibutes, so I don't want to split into seperate queries! is it possible within a single query?

 

Thank You so much!

    to achieve what you want, you need three steps.

    This is how my sample data looks like

    First step, unpivot the columns CA-A1 - CX-AX then your table will look like this:

    Second Step - Split the column Attribute in 2 columns:

    select the proper delimiter, maybe it's " - " on your data, here it's just the dash, after that your data will look like this:

    Third step
    Mark the column that contains all the attributes, here its Attribute.2 and Pivot the column, choose Value column for the values:

    Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.

     

    Regards,

    Tom
