Hello, everyone. What's up?
I'm trying to make a pivot in my table that looks like this:
If you notice, the values that should be columns are repeated, because I added several tables, because I need a list view of all tables.
However, when I pivot, the following error occurs:
Can anyone help me by telling me what it could be, or what I can do to fix it and leave the list the way I want it, which is leaving the header at the top and the sequence of values at the bottom?

Hi @matheus_peppers ,
you need to create an additional column that creates a row number for the future table.
That will be calculated by adding an index column and applying a "Number.IntegerDivide"-operation on it with the number of of pivot column (rows for each batch).
Please paste the following code into the advanced editor and follow the steps:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(
Json.Document(
Binary.Decompress(
Binary.FromText(
"PcunFQAwCAXAXb6OSC8ybQoe+68RgsCdOSJMOASwIyxRVG1RUh1RVl1RUf1RbTQb3cawETyYHw==",
BinaryEncoding.Base64
),
Compression.Deflate
)
),
let
_t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true])
in
type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]
),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source, {{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
#"Integer-Divided Column" = Table.TransformColumns(
#"Added Index",
{{"Index", each Number.IntegerDivide(_, 5), Int64.Type}}
),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(
#"Integer-Divided Column",
List.Distinct(#"Integer-Divided Column"[Column1]),
"Column1",
"Column2"
)
in
#"Pivoted Column"
