Reorganizing data

‎08-04-2022 03:52 AM

Hi, I wanted some help to rearrange my table in Power Query 🙂
Currently, I have one column for each initial and end date for three different trips. 

 

PersonStart Trip 1End Trip 1Start Trip 2End Trip 2Start Trip 3End Trip 3
Peter01/01/202207/01/202228/01/202204/02/202216/02/202223/02/2022
Maria01/01/202207/01/202228/01/202204/02/202216/02/202223/02/2022
John06/01/202217/01/202218/02/202224/02/202208/03/202213/03/2022

 

I wanted to unpivot that so the table would like the one below. I have a column with the trip number and the start and end date from each trip.

Yes it's an Unpivot (all date columns).

Split the resulting column (by Space as far right as possible)-> that gets the numbers into a column.

Then Pivot the 'Start Trip'/End Trip' Column with Don't Aggregate
