headings in same column as data, need to convert into two columns

Hi @everyone,

I have to split the column "peak lorry movements per month"  taking the subheadings into a new column. How am I supposed to do that? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @userdata ,

 

How about trying to create columns like DAX below.

 

Column1= IF(Table1[Material type]=BALNK(),Table1[peak lorry movements per month],BALNK())

 

Column2= IF(Table1[Material type]<>BALNK(),Table1[peak lorry movements per month],BALNK())

 

Best Regards,

Amy

Hi,

 

I just have another question now. Since I had to unpivot some columns, I can´t create the formulas via DAX but have to do it with M or Python. Does anybody now how I could get the same column1, column2 via python? How would the script look like?

 

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much Amy! I thought maybe there was another possibility but yes that makes sense.

Thank youuu @v-xicai
