Help transforming table from single rows into multiple values

Hi, I'm new to Power BI & Power Query and am running into a problem with a Power Query transformation.

Is there a way to take a table like this...

NameColumn2Column3Column4
Person One11/30/202212/2/202212/3/2022
Person Two11/28/202211/30/202212/1/2022


...and make it look like this one?

NameDate
Person One11/30/2022
Person One12/2/2022
Person One12/3/2022
Person Two11/28/2022
Person Two11/30/2022
Person Two12/1/2022

 

I've found some solutions that almost work, but can't quite figure out how to get there.

Hi @wyndlpoons ,

 

As @djurecicK2  said, unpivot column works.

Here I made a sample file for your reference.
