Data Import and unPivot

Hi There

 

I am new to PowerBI. My source data is sample sales breakdown of various categories.

I would like to unpivot and organize information vertically. Given few tries but didn't have success so far.

Can someone please share their insight into this?

 

Thanks


Manny

Hi @msc7808 

 

Daniel has provided a perfect solution. You can copy his code into Advanced Editor to add a new step and replace "PreviousStep" with the last step name in your APPLIED STEPS pane like #"Changed Type".
