Hi all, I have this data table on Power Query:
Account A | 1000 |
Charges | 1500 |
Discount 1 | -400 |
Discount 2 | -200 |
Tax | 100 |
Account B | 2000 |
Charges | 3000 |
Discount 1 | -1500 |
Tax | 500 |
And I want to change above table into this:
Account Name | Final Charges | Charges | Discount 1 | Discount 2 | Tax |
Account A | 1000 | 1500 | -400 | -200 | 100 |
Account B | 2000 | 3000 | -1500 | 0 | 500 |
Final Charges is the total of Charges, Discount 1, Discount 2, and Tax.
How do I change the previous table format to the table format I want in Power Query? Thank you!

@siskays Try this:
let

#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column", type text}, {"Column1", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Column], "Account") then [Column] else null),
#"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Added Custom",{"Custom"}),

#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Pivoted Column"),
