Thank you,
Here is a post suggesting a work around using UNION()

Is the "Unpivot Column" button grayed out ? If so you will have to do the unpivot in the datasource.

kentyler , Brilliant, It works for me with Union. Thank you
kentyler , Thanks for your response, The Unpivot option is not grayed out but it is not letting me apply changes on the Query editor window. I guess, it is not possible at the moment and I may need to Unpivot on the source side.
