Community ChampionI apologize for the misunderstanding. Based on your clarification, you want the result where the code and quantity are in separate columns. To achieve this, you can use Power Query in Power BI or Excel with the following steps:
Assuming your original table looks like this:
```
CodeArticle | Material1 | Quantity1 | Material2 | Quantity2 | ...
--------------------------------------------------------------
A1 | M1 | 10 | M2 | 15 | ...
B2 | M3 | 20 | M4 | 25 | ...
...
```
You want to transform it into the following format:
```
CodeArticle | Material | Quantity
--------------------------------
A1 | M1 | 10
A1 | M2 | 15
B2 | M3 | 20
B2 | M4 | 25
...
```
Follow these steps:
1. **Load your data into Power Query**:
- In Power BI: Go to the Power Query Editor by selecting the "Edit Queries" option in the Home tab.
- In Excel: Go to the Data tab and select "Get Data" > "Combine Queries" > "Merge Queries."
2. **Use "Unpivot Other Columns"**:
- In Power Query, select the "CodeArticle" column and right-click, then choose "Unpivot Columns" > "Unpivot Other Columns." This will unpivot all columns except the "CodeArticle" column.
3. **Rename Columns**:
- Rename the "Attribute" column to "Material."
- Rename the "Value" column to "Quantity."
4. **Load the Transformed Data**:
- In Power Query, click "Close & Apply" to load the transformed data back into your Power BI dataset.
- In Excel, you can load the data to a new worksheet or overwrite the existing data, depending on your preference.
After these steps, you will have the desired result where the "CodeArticle," "Material," and "Quantity" are in separate columns.
