Trying to get my head round Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations and Power BI.
Finance and Operations holds product data and each product can have multiple attributes against it.
Due to the way Finance and Operations stores the data it looks initially like this.
ProductCode | AttributeName | TextValue |
10000 | Size | 5 |
10000 | Finish | Matt |
10000 | Hex | ABCDE |
20000 | Size | 2 |
20000 | Finish | Gloss |
20000 | Hex | DEFGH |
30000 | Size | Roll |
30000 | Length | 6 |
30000 | Match | Full |
30000 | Washable | Yes |
For ease of reporting in Power BI I would like to transform it to look like this.
ProductCode | Size | Finish | Hex | Length | Match | Washable |
10000 | 5 | Matt | ABCDE | |||
20000 | 2 | Gloss | DEFGH | |||
30000 | Roll | 6 | Full | Yes |
