Transpose Table - duplicate rows in 1 column (label column), several columns with unique values

Hello Community, 

 

I am trying to find a solution for below situation  - there is a label column with duplicates values, then other columns with responses (amount of responses might differ).

(tried to use solution from the chain "Transpose Table - duplicate rows in 1 column (label column), several columns with unique values", but it was not sufficient in this case due to several response columns).

Any advice or hint is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi @Moonlight987 

Next time please provide the sample data in text-tabular format instead of (or in addition to) screen caps so that data can be copied.

Place the following M code in a blank query to see the steps.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WyklMSs0xVNJRSgTiJCBOVorVgQobgYTB4mAJJBljsAxECiKHJAk2DUQkgQh048ASYJnkZEMME8E6QJpiAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [label = _t, Response = _t, Response1 = _t, Response2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"label", type text}, {"Response", type text}, {"Response1", type text}, {"Response2", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"label"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Attribute"}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Removed Columns", {"label"}, {{"Result", each [Value], type table [label=nullable text, Value=text]}}),
    res_ = Table.FromColumns(#"Grouped Rows"[Result], #"Grouped Rows"[label])
in
    res_
