Need help to transform power query table

Hello,

 

I wish to transform this current table into grouped table. Is it possible do this in Power Query? 

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Current table: 

 

2022 2023 2024 2025
6656550
4358861
6567801
2855540
16233018
5849520
58557993
2230

 

Wished result (grouped)

 2022202320242025
0-242117
25-493210
50-744330
75-1000031

 

  • let
        Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
        Custom1 = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source,{},"Year","Value"),
        Custom2 = Table.AddColumn(Custom1,"Category",each List.Skip({{75,"75-100"},{50,"50-74"},{25,"25-49"},{0,"0-24"}},(x)=>x{0}>[Value]){0}?{1}?),
        Custom3 = Table.Pivot(Custom2,List.Distinct(Custom2[Year]),"Year","Value",List.Count)
    in
        Custom3

      wdx223_Daniel two can play this game...

       

      let
          Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("PYzLDQAhCER74exBQRBrIfbfxjqY5TLJfN5EkBk10hS90um0oCnwfsXRjAwNvS2EvUL2n9RZ+ADE+JBceqb5NzemXFMtfqHZ8l7BA3+78wE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"2022" = _t, #" 2023" = _t, #" 2024" = _t, #" 2025" = _t]),
          #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {}, "Year", "Value"),
          #"Trimmed Text" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Year", Text.Trim, type text}, {"Value", Text.Trim, type text}}),
          #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Trimmed Text",{{"Value", Int64.Type}}),
          #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Group", each  {"0-24","25-49","50-74","75-100"}{Number.RoundDown([Value]/25)}),
          #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Added Custom", {"Year", "Group"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(_), Int64.Type}}),
          #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Grouped Rows", List.Distinct(#"Grouped Rows"[Year]), "Year", "Count")
      in
          #"Pivoted Column"
  • Please check your math.

     

    NOTE: While this can be done in Power Query it should NOT be done in Power Query. Instead, bring your data into a usable format and then let Power BI do the pivoting.

        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("PYzLDQAhCER74exBQRBrIfbfxjqY5TLJfN5EkBk10hS90um0oCnwfsXRjAwNvS2EvUL2n9RZ+ADE+JBceqb5NzemXFMtfqHZ8l7BA3+78wE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"2022" = _t, #" 2023" = _t, #" 2024" = _t, #" 2025" = _t]),
        #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {}, "Year", "Value"),
        #"Trimmed Text" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Year", Text.Trim, type text}, {"Value", Text.Trim, type text}}),

        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Group", each if [Value]<25 then "0-24" else 
    if [Value]<50 then "25-49" else 
    if [Value]<75 then "50-74" else "75-100"),

    How to use this code: Create a new Blank Query. Click on "Advanced Editor". Replace the code in the window with the code provided here. Click "Done". Once you examined the code, replace the entire Source step with your own source.
