Tabular Format to List Field Value

[Anonymous]

Hi Team,

I have table data in below format 

FieldName	Value
FirstName	Atul
LastName	Kumar
Age	28
Designation	Programmer
FirstName	Tony
LastName	M
Age	32
Designation	Team Lead
FirstName	Ken
LastName	T
Age	40
Designation	SME, PM

And I want to conver this to proper tabular format as below :

FirstName	LastName	Age	Designation
Atul	Kumar	28	Programmer
Tony	M	32	Team Lead
Ken	T	40	SME, PM

Some field value may have Comma in between.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for your time and reply. Appreciate your time. I got the desinred result using simple Table.FromRows function.

= Table.FromRows( List.Split(MyData[Field_Value], 4) )

= Table.RenameColumns(Source,{{"Column1", "FirstName"}, {"Column2", "LastName"}, {"Column3", "Age"}, {"Column4", "Designation"}})

MyData is the table name and there were 4 repated colum values in Vertical table.

Please see the example M code below for one way to transform your example data.  To see how it works, just create a blank query, go to Advanced Editor, and replace the text there with the M code below.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcsssKi7xS8xNVdJRciwpzVGK1YlW8kmEi3mX5iYWgQUd00F8IwswxyW1ODM9L7EkMz8PKBhQlJ9elJibmwpRiWxmSH5eJbqZvkjmGRthMS8kNTFXwSc1MQXDOO/UPHTTQpBMMzHAYlqwr6uOQgDQ0lgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [FieldName = _t, Value = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"FieldName", type text}, {"Value", type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 1, 1),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "ItemNumber", each Number.RoundUp([Index]/4,0)),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Index"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[FieldName]), "FieldName", "Value"),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"ItemNumber"})
in
    #"Removed Columns1"

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat
