Hi All,

i would like to convert the first table into second table.

 

 

Do you think this is possible with Power Query ?

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("VYy7DcAgEMV2uZqG3wAJ+a+A2H+N+PQKRGHJbty7tWjBNog2ApnQHZIyow2ysqAHFGVFT6hKX13r6l5Xz0xfvfPsq0+r8QM=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Custom = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Custom", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Custom"}),
        #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
        #"Divided Column" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Index", {{"Index", each Number.RoundUp(_ / 5,0), type number}}),
        #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Divided Column", List.Distinct(#"Divided Column"[Column1]), "Column1", "Column2"),
        #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Index"})
    in
        #"Removed Columns1"

      Thank you very much Vijay_A_Verma 

      Your solution is working well after having done some little adaptation.
