If your original data looks something like:
Then you can use this code:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwtDAwMDcyUtJRcnRyBpLG+sb6RgZGZkCmS2pZZnKqoVKsTrSShZGhgYm5kaUxSCF2dQZgheYgI43NTA1AEtjUWSrFxgIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [fid = _t, phase = _t, extractDate = _t, deviceName = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{ {"fid", Int64.Type}, {"phase", type text}, {"extractDate", type date}, {"deviceName", type text}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "deviceNamePhase", (x)=> List.Transform( Text.ToList(x[phase]), each x[deviceName] & "_" & _ & "_" & Number.ToText(x[fid]))), #"Expanded deviceNamePhase" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "deviceNamePhase") in #"Expanded deviceNamePhase"to produce:
Hopefully this will point in the right direction.
