Add Headers

Hi,

Using Power Query in Excel

I imported data from an Excel file.

I noticed Headers are stacked in the 8th column in rows 1:4, other Headers are missing.

So I thought I would create a separate Table with Headers, Transpose the original Table, Add a Column, Merge the 2, Transpose back.

 

The first Transpose is taking a long time, I just get a spinning wheel.

Is there a faster way to add the Header Row?

 

Thanks,

    How many rows does the headers-only table contain before you transpose it?

  • Hi Ehren,

    I'm guessing you mean the non-header table which contains 9,159 rows.

    Thanks,

      How many columns? I'm wondering if it's trying to transpose a huge number of empty cells.

      Right. But how many columns?

       

      It would be great if you could share a set of files (without any sensitive info) that reproduce the issue.
