Transpose using DAX and virtual table

Hi guys.   If I were to transpose columns into rows like the image below, how could I achieve it using a virtual table in a measure? I don't want to create a copy of the existing table and store it...

    Hi, some1else 

    The easiest way to get the results you want is to transpose them in the Query Editor.

    Sample data:

    Step 1: Use Headers as First Row

    Step 2: Transpose

    Result:

     

     

    Is this the result you want? Hope this is useful to you

    Please feel free to let me know If you have further questions

The bigger question is why you have the first table in the model. The first table does not look like a structure that is well suited to PBI. Does the table really have just 2 rows?  Consider transposing the first table and loading it once in the transposed state. You can do this in power query

1. Use headers as first row

2. Transpose

3. Rename the first column "header"

3. Unpivot the 3 column table into 2 columns


this should give you 3 new columns (header, attribute, value). 

from there you can use a matrix with header on rows, attribute on column, and value in the values section.
