    Hi Anonymous ,

    PBIX Obtained

     

    Appended the query, transposed the table, reordered the columns, merged the columns, split the columns by position, removed columns, then transposed table, and did clean up.


    Let me know if you have any questions.

    If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

Hi Anonymous ,

Here is your table. Will attach the PBIX in a couple.
