Hi
I'm very new to power BI and I'm struggling with my xero reports and getting them into a flat file in power query that I can just update monthly. I have attached the print out on a demo company which will hopefully explain my problem.
As you can see untder the date column there is the cost centres ie accounts payable, advertising and marketing etc. and then under the headings is dates.
I would need to put a custom column to make the descriptions run down along the dates and then change with the new cost centres as they change.
If there anyone who can help me. I'm trying to make and P&L dashboard that I can drill down into and update monthly.
Thank you in advance
