Transform Data from Excel

Dear all,

 

I hope you can help me with my current problem. I have date in the following format:

 

Date30.06.202131.07.202131.08.2021
ValueDescription 1123
ValueDescription 2456

 

What would be the best way to get a table lik the following:

 

DateValueDescriptionValue
30.06.2021ValueDescription11
31.07.2021ValueDescription12
31.08.2021ValueDescription13
30.06.2021ValueDescription24
31.07.2021ValueDescription25
31.08.2021ValueDescription26

 

I hope you can help me.

 

Best regards

Manuel

Hi @Manuel123 ,

 

In Power Query, select your [Date] column, go to the transform tab and select the dropdown arrow next to 'Unpivot Columns', select 'Unpivot Other Columns', then rename your columns to whatever you want them to be.
