Transpose data

‎03-18-2025 01:05 PM

Hi, 

 

I am constantly have to transpose several combined data from rows to columns, would anyone share with me a way to automate this step? I include the original file, and the file I have done manually transpose. Any insights given would be really appreciated. Thank you! 

 

This is the original file. All number are fiction.

Hi @ale259 ,

 

Thank you for your inputs @Cookistador  @FreemanZ @Deku .

The Unpivot Columns feature in Power Query is indeed the most suitable approach for this transformation.

1️. Select the first column (Time) and unpivot the remaining columns using Transform → Unpivot Columns in Power Query.
2️. This will restructure the table into a City | Time | Value format.
3️.  If necessary, rename the columns for clarity and sort by city name for better organization.

 

FYI:

hi @ale259 ,

 

this is standard unpivot.

Right click the header of first column and choose "Unpivot Other Columns"

then you shall get what you want.

To do that,
Go in Power Query and select the 4 columns 

Cookistador_0-1742329052956.png

 

Then, go in Transform --> Unpivot columns and select Unpivot Columns
