Helper IIITranspose of table doesn't work.. Says too large data.
Community ChampionPlease share data or sample data
Helper IIIPijushRoy Thanks a lot.
I have created a small sample size with some issues as I see, but this data I run has more than 180000 rows, causing transpose to fail.
1. I am thinking (subject to your advice, to have the data name and Data value (Col B & C) in coloumns
2. Data format should be Asia (DD/MM/YYYY)
3. Please note that each ID has different set of Keys and values
4. This type of data runs in about 180000+ rows with IDs more than 60,000 unique IDs which are repeated with multiple values.
PLease advice

Hi PijushRoy
That is perfect but couple of things
1. Date format has to DD/MM/YYYY
2. What is the best practices in Power BI / Data.. to have blanks on empty fields are fill it with null?
Thanks a lot
