Hello,
I want to know how I can transpose this data from columns to rows. I have lot of columns like that but just for example sharing an example,
| Name | Plan | index | Project Name | Scheduled Date | L21 | L213 | L19 | N19 | L7 | L8 | L6 | N6 | L25 C1 | L25 C2 | N25 C1 | N25 C2 |

output:
band is the data that is been transposed from L21 to N25 C2 and tech is the column that is telling which band as there are duplicates.

Hi @Anonymous.
What do you mean with derived from other columns? Do you work with Power BI Desktop? How did you et the data into Power BI Desktop?
Best regards
Michael
so in power querry those columns are not there, these are derived from combination of other columns that are there in the pbi
Hi @Anonymous
Sorry but I do not really understand.
Do you even use Power BI Desktop?
if yes, are the data you provided now in Power BI Desktop?
If yes, how did you get the data in Power BI Desktop?
if no, do you have other data in Power BI Desktop and you want to add the data above?
if yes, where are these data stored?
A little bit more context would be helpful. 🙂
Best regards
Michael
HI @Anonymous
Please go in Power Query and select the first five columns of your dataset using STRG so that all of them are selected.
Then use the "unpivot other columns" feature.
You can find more information under:
Unpivot columns - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
Best regards
Michael

@ me in replies or I'll lose your thread.
Hello Mike,
these columns are derived from other columns so they are not in power querry editor. Can something be done in outside of power query editor?
