I've an Excel range like the following, with merged cells and many dates (3 years) on the horizontal title:
Is there an easy way to transform it for use with Power BI?
i.e. filling the missing Brand and Model values and taking all the dates as as a Date field (unpivot?)
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Use this. Sample Excel uploaded here - https://1drv.ms/x/s!Akd5y6ruJhvhuWDGH3OB4nggLBvz?e=wxOqfe
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(Source,{"Brand", "Model"}),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Filled Down", {"Color", "Model", "Brand"}, "Date", "Value")
in
#"Unpivoted Other Columns"
Wow thanks a lot!
I'm stunned by how powerful and easy Power Query is!
