To unpivot your table and transform it into the desired format with three columns (Code Article, Code of Material, and Quantity), you can use Power Query in Power BI. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Assuming your original table looks something like this:
| Code Article | Code Material1 | Quantity1 | Code Material2 | Quantity2 | ... |
|--------------|----------------|-----------|----------------|-----------|-----|
| A001 | M001 | 10 | M002 | 5 | ... |
| B002 | M003 | 15 | M004 | 8 | ... |
Follow these steps to unpivot your table:
1. Open your Power BI report.
2. Load your table into Power Query:
- In Power BI Desktop, go to the "Home" tab.
- Click on "Edit Queries" to open the Power Query Editor.
3. Select the columns that you want to unpivot (e.g., "Code Material1," "Quantity1," "Code Material2," "Quantity2," etc.).
4. Go to the "Transform" tab in the Power Query Editor.
5. Click on "Unpivot Columns" in the "Transform" tab. This will transform your selected columns into rows, creating new columns "Attribute" and "Value."
6. Rename the "Attribute" column to "Code Type" (or any other suitable name) and the "Value" column to "Code" (or "Quantity" if appropriate).
7. Close and apply the changes to load the transformed table back into Power BI.
Now, your table should be in the desired format with three columns: "Code Article," "Code Type" (which indicates whether it's a material code or a quantity code), and "Code" (which contains the respective material code or quantity).
Here's how the transformed table would look:
| Code Article | Code Type | Code |
|--------------|-----------|-------|
| A001 | Material | M001 |
| A001 | Quantity | 10 |
| A001 | Material | M002 |
| A001 | Quantity | 5 |
| B002 | Material | M003 |
| B002 | Quantity | 15 |
| B002 | Material | M004 |
| B002 | Quantity | 8 |
You can now use this transformed table in your Power BI report for further analysis and visualization.
Anyone can help me ?
