Spliting rows with spicific columns

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone and thank you in advance for your help,

I'm struggling with this problem, here's an example:

I manage to split the rows using M but I can't find a way to make the split while keeping the QTY attached to each SKU. I would really appreaciate any help!

Thank you for your time,

Hi, @Anonymous 

Try this:

let
    Source = Table.FromRecords(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("lZC9CsJAEAbf5atT3F9ArlNjTEyh0RxyiG8QtBIL8d3V4/aygoXXzS4sM+zpgf31DisLHDonYTFfLBEGBXu5jWNgzdgwLon7wb+PdQDFlpqxYRwPn0X0K+avkh9VHWP+DJAlFagsvU76/ria9IN3WXojSC+FyAowKcC7dgrYbdsUgE2zBhWga2r8/ICihFkqiGQ+WV/28ws=", BinaryEncoding.Base64),Compression.Deflate))),
    trans = Table.ToList(Source, each List.Transform(List.RemoveItems(List.Zip(List.Split(List.Skip(_), 5)), {{null, null}}), (lst)=>{_{0}}&lst)),
    result = Table.FromRows(List.Combine(trans), {"Row", "SKU", "QTY"})
in
    result

Hi @Anonymous ,

1. Check the column "Row" and unpivot other columns
2. Check the resulting "Attribute"-column and extract the first 3 characters from it
3. Pivot that new column with "Values" in the values-section

@ImkeF 

I managed to make it work! I was extracting just the first 3 letters of the column instead of splitting it!

Thank you so much! This will save me a ton of time!

Hey there!

@ImkeFthis looks like a great and easy way to approach this problem but I might be doing something wrong, could you please advice?

Until this step it seems like the data is ready for being pivoted but it shows the following error:

Thank you so much for your help!!!
