    Hi henry24007 ,

    You will need to perform the unpivot all columns operation in power query. This will ensure that any other columns that you add will also be included in the operation after every refresh.

    Please note that two columns cannot have the same name, so Power query will append a suffix automatically. You can simply perform a replace operation to remove the suffix.

    You can then use the attribute column as the slicer in your report.

    As for year, you either need to include that as a separate column in your dataset, or add a conditional column based on certain rules to map each row to a year.

    Kind regards,

    Rohit
