Hello community members,
I'm still a newbie with PowerQuery and PowerBI and learning a lot from your valuable solutions.
Maybe you can help me with the following:
In a PowerBI query I have the following situation in a table:
Categories | Values per category | ...<other data> | ...<even more data> |
10,12,13,14,29 | 0,1,10,5,4 | ||
10,11,12,13,19,14,15,17,18,23 | 0,0,30,40,0,30,40,80,50,25 |
I have a second query that gives me the categories by id and name:
id | Name |
10 | Category A |
11 | Category B |
12 | Category C |
13 | Category D |
14 | Category E |
15 | Category 100 |
16 | Category 120 |
17 | Category F |
19 | Category G |
23 | Category H |
29 | Category Z |
What I want:
In my first table, I want to "decode" the category ids from column "Categories" to single columns with the category names from my second query and to fill the values per category in the corresponding columns. I don't want to have lines per value with all other cloumns repeated per line, but the columns as shown in the example:
Categories | Values per category | Category A | Category B | Category C | Category D | ... | <other data> | <even more data> | |
10,12,13,14,29 | 0,1,0,5,4 | 0 | 1 | 10 | ... | ||||
10,11,12,13,19,14,15,17,18,23 | 0,0,30,40,0,30,40,80,50,25 | 0 | 0 | 30 | 40 | ... | |||
Any help is highly appreciated.
