headers

Hello

 

i start to apologize if this issue has already been raised, i did a few searches but didn't find.

 

My problem is simple : i've got an excel file to import, and my headers would be the concatenation of values in row1 & row2.

 

PowerQuery let me promote the first row (or the 2nd one) but i want both of them 🙂

 

 Q1 FY16Q1 FY16
 Arrêté TArrêté T N-1
PRODUIT NET BANCAIRE76,667,
PNB Hors EL77,541,
Marge nette d'intérêts45,205,
MNI Hors EL46,079,

 

 

I need these headers :

 

Q1 FY16 Arrêté T   |   Q1 FY16 Arrêté T N-1

 

Thanks for your help !

In Power Query > Transform Tab, transpose the table.

Create a new column that merges/concatenates the two rows (that are now columns).

Pull the new column to the beginning of the table.

Transpose the table again.

Promote the new merged row to header.
