Table transformation

[pect]

Hello,

I am trying to transform a table which is:

Client	Estat	Any	Import
EU	Línea base	2017	10000
EU	Adjudicat	2017	3000
EU	En contractació	2017	2000
EU	En contractació	2018	5000
EU	Adjudicat	2018	10000
EU	Línea base	2018	20000

And I would like to transform it, so that I had a new "Estat" called "Pendent" with the calculation "Pendent" = "Línea base" - "Adjudicat" - "En contractació". The resulting table would be:

Client	Estat	Any	Import
EU	Pendent	2017	5000
EU	Adjudicat	2017	3000
EU	En contractació	2017	2000
EU	En contractació	2018	5000
EU	Adjudicat	2018	10000
EU	Pendent	2018	5000

This transformation would enable me to represent a stacked column chart I am looking for.

Could anyone shed a light please?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @pect,

go to the query Editor:

and add a "Custom Column"

Than you can craete a new, custom column with the formular you stated:

Hi,

Thanks but I am afraid this doesn't work with my request. My calculation depends on only one column "Import".

I appreciate any other help you could provide me!

Thank you very much.

Now I understand!

1. Right Click on the table in query Editor and Click "Rerence". Do this 3 times and call every tables coresponding to the "Estat" Values "Línea base" ,"Adjudicat", "En contractació" for example.
2. Filter every table to only display the corresponding Estat value "Línea base" ,"Adjudicat", "En contractació". (Click on the Arrow in the column header and filter it) and call the coumns "Línea base" - "Adjudicat" - "En contractació".
3. Now you can join the tables based on the  columns "client" and "any" or any other kind of identification column(s) in one new table.
4. Now you have 3 columns next to each other with the values of "Línea base" ,"Adjudicat", "En contractació" and you can use a custom column.
5. Dont forgeht to disable "Enable Load" on the intermediate querys which you dont need in your final data model and RAM (Right click on querys and Disable"Enable Load").

Does this help you`?

How do I join the 3 tables?

Joining was the wrong word, in Power BI its called "Appending".

Click on the black arrow next to it and use "append as new"

The suggested (un)pivot solution could look like this:

let
    Source = Table1,
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Source, List.Distinct(Source[Estat]), "Estat", "Import"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Pivoted Column", "Pendent", each [Línea base] - [Adjudicat] - [En contractació], Int64.Type),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Línea base"}),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Removed Columns",{"Client", "Any", "Pendent", "Adjudicat", "En contractació"}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Reordered Columns", {"Client", "Any"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Columns"

Thank you very much! It works!

Alternative: (you have to try this, i´m not exactly sure)

fondle around with "unpivot column" or "pivot column"
