Changing Data To Make It Usable For A Graph

[ccsnet]

Hi all,

I have some data which is not in the best format which I would like to display on a single graph over time however Power BI seems to be struglering to show it more than a single straight line.

Can any body please offer some advice on how I can reformat using PowerQuery this so its useable in a repeatble way as this comes from a dynamic data source ?

NB The first row is how the data is imported and the yellow colums are the one I want to use, the second is an example of where I tried to tidy it up and use it

Thanks

Terran

A very simple way to transform would be

Load the table into PQ without headers i.e. your headers will be Column1, Column2...

Transpose

Select first column, right click and remove all duplicates

Transpose

Promote headers

Below is the code which gets generated

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(Source),
    #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(#"Transposed Table", {"Column1"}),
    #"Transposed Table1" = Table.Transpose(#"Removed Duplicates"),
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table1", [PromoteAllScalars=true])
in
    #"Promoted Headers"
