Show values as column headers

Hi all, 

 

I need to explode the values as column headers. For example, I have this situation:

 

tabellacamporisultatopilastroindicatore
xx1adeguatezzadata quality
xx0,5coperturadata quality
xy1adeguatezzadata dictionary
zz1adeguatezzabusiness glossary
zz1coperturabusiness glossary
zz1coperturadata quality

 

This is what I want in Power Bi:

 

tabellacampodata qualitydata dictionarybusiness glossaryadeguatezzacopertura
xx0,75  10,5
xy 1 1 
zz1 111

 

Can anyone help me to solve the problem?

Thanks

Hi @mzedda ,
I would split this table up into 2, then append befor pivoting with an average aggregation:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WqlDSAWNDIE5MSU0vTSxJrapKBPJSEksSFQpLE3MySyqVYnUQSg10TIFkcn5BalFJaRFOpZW4TU3JTC7JzM9LLIKorgKKV2FVnVRanJmXWlyskJ6TX1yMTT2yM0hTjeroWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [tabella = _t, campo = _t, risultato = _t, pilastro = _t, indicatore = _t]),
    _staging = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"tabella", type text}, {"campo", type text}, {"risultato", type number}, {"pilastro", type text}, {"indicatore", type text}}, "de-DE"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(_staging,{"pilastro"}),
    _tbl1 = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"indicatore", "Header"}}),
    Custom1 = _staging,
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(Custom1,{"indicatore"}),
    _tbl2 = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns1",{{"pilastro", "Header"}}),
    Custom2 = _tbl2 & _tbl1,
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Custom2, List.Distinct(Custom2[Header]), "Header", "risultato", List.Average)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"
