How do I move column data under other columns - unpivot doesn't work here

[oogundipe]

Hi,

I am trying to turn this dataset into the one below and unpivot doesn't quite seem to work. Any advice on this?

Team	player1.first	player1.last	player2.first	player2.last	player3.first	player3.last
Green	Sally	Jensen	John	Dawson	Claire	Watson
Purple	Steve	Wells	Terry	Wu	Gina	Smith

Team	first	last
Green	Sally	Jensen
Green	John	Dawson
Green	Claire	Watson
Purple	Steve	Wells
Purple	Terry	Wu
Purple	Gina	Smith

Thanks Daniel, that works great for the sample dataset.

However, I'm trying to apply the solution to our slightly more complex data using the following

= #table({"Ballot ID","Participant ID","Participant CustNum","VotedFlag","First Name","Last Name","Current Employer","Committee Join Date","Committee Drop Date"},List.TransformMany(Table.ToRows(#"Changed Type"),each List.Split(List.Skip(_),8),(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)=>{a{0}}&b))

But I don't know how to assign the 8 items using =>{a{0}}&b)...... I don't really know what this is doing.

Can you please let me know how to do this? Thanks in advance

= #table({"Ballot ID","Participant ID","Participant CustNum","VotedFlag","First Name","Last Name","Current Employer","Committee Join Date","Committee Drop Date"},List.TransformMany(Table.ToRows(#"Changed Type"),each List.Split(List.Skip(_),8),(x,y)=>List.FirstN(x,8)&y))

I finally figured out that (x,y)=>{x{0}}&y is like a name,value pair so I tried the following command and it works! Thanks so much!

= #table({"Ballot ID","Participant ID","Participant CustNum","VotedFlag","First Name","Last Name","Current Employer","Committee Join Date","Committee Drop Date"},List.TransformMany(Table.ToRows(#"Removed Other Columns"),each List.Split(List.Skip(_),8),(x,y)=>{x{0}}&y))

=#table({"Team","First","Last"},List.TransformMany(Table.ToRows(PreviousStepName),each List.Split(List.Skip(_),2),(x,y)=>{x{0}}&y))
