I have a table which shows actions taken by a user ordered by the time executed:
Date | ID | Steps | Action |
14/04/2022 | 112232 | Step 1 | register |
14/04/2022 | 112232 | Step 2 | register confirmation |
14/04/2022 | 112232 | Step 3 | first login |
14/04/2022 | 112232 | Step 4 | login |
14/04/2022 | 112233 | Step 1 | register |
14/04/2022 | 112233 | Step 2 | register confirmation |
14/04/2022 | 112233 | Step 3 | first login |
14/04/2022 | 112233 | Step 4 | login |
14/04/2022 | 112233 | Step 5 | login fail |
I want to tranpose the 2 last columns 'Steps' and 'Action' so that it looks like this:
Date | ID | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Step 4 | Step 5 |
14/04/2022 | 112232 | register | register confirmation | first login | login | register |
14/04/2022 | 112233 | register | register confirmation | first login | login | login fail |
I've tried tranposing and grouping but I can't quite get it right, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Select column named Steps - Transform tab - Pivot column
In values, choose Action
under Advanced options, choose Don't Aggregate
See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test (later on when you use the query on your dataset, you will have to change the source appropriately. If you have columns other than these, then delete Changed type step and do a Changed type for complete table from UI again)
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("nc/BCoMwDMbxVyk9Cy5JB/oc2016EKkScHa0eX8WD4XtUnW3r/AL/DsM1rXgWrwh2sYCINI+HhLeBnSksHCWkKxvahS/qJniNnN6jcJxO7gjHWqzmDUufKSdjoqj8+H0ZzhdCqer4ffizDzyWnBXcNf3P398hixQVftbVKH1/gM=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, ID = _t, Steps = _t, Action = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Steps", type text}, {"Action", type text}}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Steps]), "Steps", "Action")
in
#"Pivoted Column"

Thank you, that worked!
