change row values to column names

Hi , I want to change row values to column names. In the Power BI query there is Pivot column option, but since I have two columns as value, that solution did not work for me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous 

Please create a Blank query in PQ and paste the code in Advance Editor

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtI1MAQiJR0lRyAGChgaGoG5LqkFiUUlual5JUCOU2Y+lIzVwa/NOR+mJTEJCIGMvNKcHMLaMksyq1LzYvKAbLcgRygZGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Date#(lf)" = _t, Database = _t, Identity = _t, Names = _t, Source1 = _t, Source2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date#(lf)", type date}, {"Database", type text}, {"Identity", Int64.Type}, {"Names", type text}, {"Source1", type text}, {"Source2", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Date#(lf)", "Database", "Identity", "Names"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Unpivoted Columns", List.Distinct(#"Unpivoted Columns"[Names]), "Names", "Value"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{{"Attribute", "Source"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

@Anonymous ,

You need to use a combination of Unpivot Columns and Pivot Columns.

Please see attached pbix file for detailed Power Query Transformation steps.  Trust you can follow along.

In the future, please paste sample data as text, not as a picture.  This will make it easier for folks to assist.

Regards,
