Transform data to workable format

Hi all,

 

I have a data file which needs to be transformed into a workable format so I can use it in Power BI. It's probably very simple, but unfortunately I can't do it myself. Below you see the table as it appears in Power Query.

 

Knipsel.PNGIt now has 4 rows in it, but this is variable. There are six different possible values, namely: 'NA', 'Verzuim', 'Vakantie', 'Aanvraag', 'Niet vervuld' and 'Vervuld'.

 

I would like to create a table as shown in the example below:

Is this possible and if so, how?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

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)

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WClTSUfJzBBK+MAaYCFCK1YlG4kMIJB5IGsR0AmJnIHYBYlcgdgPLuANZHkDsCcReQOwNxD5KsbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"2022-26" = _t, #"2022-27" = _t, #"2022-28" = _t, #"2022-29" = _t, #"2022-30" = _t, #"2022-31" = _t]),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {}, "Week", "Type"),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Added Index",{{"Week", Order.Ascending}, {"Index", Order.Ascending}}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Sorted Rows",{"Index"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"
