Unpivot column into NEW table?
Thanks.
In this case I am pulling data in from an SPO list and it takes a few minutes for the data to load.
I'd hate to have to re-query that same source a second time.
Is there anyway to use DAX or M query language to make an in memory table or calculated table?
The table looks like this:
PKID, Issue Title, Source1, Source2, Source3, other_columns
I would like to unpivot just Source1, 2, and 3, bring the PKID with them into the new table. Additionally, I want to leave the original table unchanged.
You might look at doing this in DAX. You could create a new table using something like SUMMARIZE perhaps. Tough to say without an example of the data involved and expected result.

Greg is right: If you want to be sure that the data isn't loaded again, you should use DAX.
