How can I transform rows 1-6 into columns so that I can correlate them with the plant.
I would like to see Actual/Forecast, Month, Year to date, Account#, and Expense in columns 2,3,4,5,6,7. I believe it will be easier to analyze the data with dashboard if they are all in columns.
Currently, it will be hard for me to relate the data in Plant 1 to the rows 1-6.
Actual | Actual | Actual | Actual | Forecast | Forecast | Forecast | Forecast | |

Then you can start transposing and unpivoting
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("vVHBSsQwEP2VpechJJNJ2h4X1IMgCnqRsodagh5qu2xTcP/eJG1Ndukqe/GQ9s3w5uW9SVVlL8e9ySDbNnas29/BXX8wTT3Yv+EOquyh7+yHa96P3YVve/Tq4/sYhp/N3prPN3Nw+LGxvUde59XUvoUc+fW/YMTUw3jwIb3Uxvabm9r+Y+k9bJumHzsbthnQRiQYEywTTFfz/V23X3vTDd7GjMLsgjHBMsF0Nd/f9dTWsze+chBQScZjK47g3FNaAAkxkUgJEArTCcdwIhRbBI7ly6jlbZWQ58T0pBIV01NCUUgmZoqIlKhE4T6NxORanpAJz2bUBeJaar2IuFCcn1oUJbIyqQnUedA82OPLJBWgpZ4SKQQtTtYklZ73QSBIrD9D4WoZvSAHURIrZkX3OFNfgqKcqWmLpRNTi1jhtNXPInff", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t, Column5 = _t, Column6 = _t, Column7 = _t, Column8 = _t, Column9 = _t]),

#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Promoted Headers", {"Expense", "Account", "Measure", "Year", "Month", "Type"}, "Attribute", "Value")

Hi @lotus22
I've written an article here with a function that lets you achieve this task easily: https://www.thebiccountant.com/2017/06/19/unpivot-by-number-of-columns-and-rows-in-powerbi-and-power...
Please also check the enclosed file on how to apply it to your case.
