Transform table to additional rows

Hi There,

I have a table that I need to transform into a proper table. I'm developing a timesheet table based on MS Forms output. User can input up to 5 projects. Each project is housed in 1 column, the same with the hours columns. So I ended up with 3 Project columns and 3 Hours column

My Final table should only have 1 Column for Project and Hours, each. Illustration below for reference:

Once table is done, it'll be linked to PowerBI report.

Thanks in advance for the help.

It's OK. I manage to solve it, but in a round about way:

1. Merge Column Project & Hour with delimiter, resulting in 3 new columns

2. Unpivot, then you'll only have 1 value of Attribute, which is the Column from #1

3. Split the Value column with delimiter

With this I have the columns that I want. 🙂

yeah, right. Do the project columns have random names or are the always called Project1-5?

Hi,

 

use the Unpivot function in PowerQuery:

 

Unpivot columns (Power Query) (microsoft.com)

Hi,

I try to unpivot, but it gaves a half solution. How should I transpose the attribute & value, but only to 2 columns while retaining to the Name & Date column?
