I have data in the above format. I want to convert it in the format mentioned below:
In excel I used to do it through sumifs, but that was really time consuming. I want to do it through power query. I tried pivoting, but it asks me to identify single value column, and as I have three value columns. I don't get the data in the format I want.
How to do it?
Please help and thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @himanshu23 ,
First go to query editor,select columns "Qreach,Qrem,Qsold">"unpivot columns",and you will get a table as below:
Then back to Report view,create a matrix,and you will see:

If you do decide to restructure your data, here's one way to do it in the query editor. To see how it works, just create a blank query, open the Advanced Editor and replace the text there with the M code below.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("TYyxDQAgCAR3obZQXgfQNYj7ryE+hlhcwT05M2m1SpHpNEfJLiaa/jo4gx7p8bZOH53FOzZ8nfVczz7SK9v83wc=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [PROID = _t, Store = _t, M1 = _t, M2 = _t, M3 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"PROID", Int64.Type}, {"Store", type text}, {"M1", Int64.Type}, {"M2", Int64.Type}, {"M3", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Record.RenameFields(Record.RemoveFields(_, {"PROID", "Store"}), {{"M1", [Store] & " M1"}, {"M2", [Store] & " M2"}, {"M3", [Store] & " M3"}})),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"M1", "M2", "M3"}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[Store]), "Store", "Custom"),
#"Expanded A" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Pivoted Column", "A", {"A M1", "A M2", "A M3"}, {"A M1", "A M2", "A M3"}),
#"Expanded B" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded A", "B", {"B M1", "B M2", "B M3"}, {"B M1", "B M2", "B M3"})
in
#"Expanded B"

You could make that in a matrix visual, but are you sure you want to restructure your data? It is set up well for analysis now. Also, in the query editor, you won't be able to end up with the two columns with the same name.

I need to create reports in my organisation's format. I need to load it in excel only, that's how they want it.
