Hey All,
Struggeling to transpose a table.
The original table looks like below.
Employee Name | Department | Course | Date |
A | D1 | 1 | 1/01/2018 |
A | D1 | 2 | 5/04/2017 |
C | D1 | 3 | 2/06/2019 |
D | D2 | 1 | 1/01/2018 |
D | D2 | 2 | 5/04/2017 |
D | D2 | 3 | 15/11/2016 |
D | D2 | 4 | 2/06/2019 |
There are more columns, which I want to hide. Also, there are more than 4 courses, which I want to filter the redundant ones.
I want to achieve this view
Employee Name | Department | Course 1 | Course 2 | Course 3 | Course 4 |
A | D1 | 1/01/2018 | 5/04/2017 | ||
B | D3 | ||||
C | D1 | 2/06/2019 | |||
D | D2 | 1/01/2018 | 5/04/2017 | 15/11/2016 | 2/06/2019 |
Showing Department, and maybe other columns. Also, Showing Employees without data (empty values), like employee B above.
Any hint would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Solved! Go to Solution.
This looks like pivoting text data to me. Read my article here.

HI @Anonymous
Use pivot column -->Course in power query
In the options select date
advance options --> do not aggregate.

Thanks Mate.
Apparently, I was missing the do not aggregate thingi which messed up my visual.
Cheers!
