Transforming Multiple Header file
Hi baptiste23 ,
The code:
Table.Transpose(Table.CombineColumns(Table.Transpose(Table.FirstN(#"Filtered Rows", 2)),{"Column1", "Column2"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(" - ", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged")),
Merges the 2 first rows in one, so you can handle the headers.
the code "Table.Skip(#"Filtered Rows", 2)" skips the first 2 rows (they are handled on the code above).
Table.Combine just appends them.
Hi baptiste23 ,
I'm not sure if it's that what you want...
let
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("D:\Downloads\data test.xlsx"), null, true),
#"Data sheet_Sheet" = Source{[Item="Data sheet",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Data sheet_Sheet", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Promoted Headers"),
#"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Transposed Table",{"Column2"}),
#"Transposed Table1" = Table.Transpose(#"Filled Down"),
#"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Transposed Table1",1),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Top Rows", each not Text.StartsWith([Column1], "Niveau")),
TableResult = Table.Combine(
{
Table.Transpose(Table.CombineColumns(Table.Transpose(Table.FirstN(#"Filtered Rows", 2)),{"Column1", "Column2"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(" - ", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged")),
Table.Skip(#"Filtered Rows", 2)
}
),
#"Promoted Headers1" = Table.PromoteHeaders(TableResult, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers1",{{"Identity - CLUB", type text}, {"Identity - Country", type text}, {"Identity - Type Of Club", type text}, {"Identity - Position", type text}, {"Identity - Number of Fans", type any}, {"Player & Staff developpement - TOTAL", type number}, {"Player & Staff developpement - First Team", Int64.Type}, {"Player & Staff developpement - Staff", type number}, {"Player & Staff developpement - U Teams", type number}, {"Player & Staff developpement - Talent evaluator", type number}, {"Technical facilities - TOTAL", type number}, {"Technical facilities - Training", type number}, {"Technical facilities - Stadium", Int64.Type}, {"Financial Assets - TOTAL", type number}, {"Financial Assets - Sales", type number}, {"Financial Assets - Costs", type any}})
in
#"Changed Type"
Or, if you just want to skip the first rows..just use the remove rows function.
Hi camargos88
Thank you very much for the answer. It seems really interesting and I think I will be able to get hat I needed.
There is just one step that I don't understand:
TableResult = Table.Combine(
{
Table.Transpose(Table.CombineColumns(Table.Transpose(Table.FirstN(#"Filtered Rows", 2)),{"Column1", "Column2"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(" - ", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged")),
Table.Skip(#"Filtered Rows", 2)
}
)
Could you please give me more detail the transformation realised by this step so I can do it by myself?
Thank you for the help provided
Best
