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 Design...
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.
