    Hi Laosi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.

     

    Your requirement is achievable in Power Query. You can restructure the summary rows (e.g., "Average PER", "Weighted Average PBV") from the Sector column into Stock Name, and move their corresponding values into the Assets column using the steps below:

     

    Add a custom column to flag rows:

    if Text.Contains([Sector], "PER") or Text.Contains([Sector], "PBV") then true else false

    Create new columns:

    • New Stock Name:
    if [IsSummaryRow] then [Sector] else [Stock Name]
    
    • New Assets:
    if [IsSummaryRow] then [Assets] else [Assets]
    

     

    Once you’ve created the new columns, delete the original columns: Sector, Sub Industry Code, Stock Name, and Assets. Then rename your new columns to Stock Name and Assets. Make sure the data types are correct for example, text for names and numbers for values. These steps will clean up your data and remove the extra columns you don’t need.
