Creating a new table for each unique value in a column
I have a source spreadsheet with three columns.
Column A contains a list of table names, Column B and C are mapping/conversion fields for those tables.
Example snipett:
e.g. Dimension table contains DimensionTitle field which is named "Title" on the system
My task is to create a conversion table to automatically rename those columns, however rather than do this manually for each table, I wondered if there's a way to use the values in Column A to automatically convert the spreadsheet into as many tables as there are unique values?

"You can't dynamically ... in Power BI/Query"I'm coming from Qlikview/Sense universe and finding many answers like that...
So I'm thinking that Qlik isn't too bad as I used to say

Wait until you try to create dynamic buckets 🙂

Try to create a new table by dax.
new = VALUES ( 'table'[column] )Or
new = SUMMARIZE ( 'table', [column1], [column2] )

Hi there thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I need to do this in power query not in the data model. I will resort to some VBA to split out the excel table into multiple tabs instead.
