Value and Identifier in 2 Columns
Anonymous , I came up with a more generic way of conversion if your dataset consists of more pairs of Material/Usage,
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCkstyg8oLUoNz8gsSVXSUTI107O0NAIyHNMzc0qLjQ2cc1ITi4B8Y2M9M0NLpVgdiB7fxPTUvJJEoIQBEKObYmShZ2ZgCleMYoGRnqGpKTYLTPQMTA2x6jG21DMwwuYoIzM9CxNzrHpMTPTMTM2x6zE0AbotFgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Model Material 1" = _t, #"Model Material 1 Usage" = _t, #"Model Material 2" = _t, #"Model Material 2 Usage" = _t]),
#"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Model", each Text.Select([Attribute], {"0".."9"})),
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Added Custom", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
#"Integer-Divided Column" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Index", {{"Index", each Number.IntegerDivide(_, 2), Int64.Type}}),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Integer-Divided Column", {"Model", "Index"}, {{"Count", each Record.FromList([Value], {"Material", "Usage"})}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Grouped Rows",{"Index"}),
#"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Count", {"Material", "Usage"}, {"Material", "Usage"})
in
#"Expanded Count"I dont think this shows the final output I am looking for.
Essentially, this data is a report generated by our 3D printer showing how much material is used of each type. There could be the same material in different bays of the machine. Each row is an individual project/print.
I want to be able to take all this data and essentially add up the "Model Material # Usage" of each material. As shown below, VeroPureWhite was in multiple material bays.

Hello Anonymous
this solution should work out for you. Is dynamic as well. Condition is that all columns with "Usage" in the name are put in one column and all other as well (This logic we can also change). After the final table is create, I applied a group function to sum all the same materials
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("rZQxa8NADIX/i+dUSLqTfDeWzIEOJR2CBw8mNYQWnAT686sEN6T125rtTjL69J503u2a7TB9vpyn4e19PA3NqjGnWjUOz/vxcD4mXh+Gfop7SuRS4/A6Ho/nYdOfpvErrlKI0yV+qbTp98PHqX/axl0zmUvTrXb3qUjw/PE9Vgs5G8CqUlJbYiuZ6q34LwVKYqhUysQmQIFRdQEKpCUtBiGpEiuySZ1KbpeQQsaOGKFPICJncmsxQjKwJBDJAKKSO1ZhiZQrssoCgYYd25EzklEoW4EQJtUEGLwsz6AyY3OUXDPqXEhrAZ0LZYWdK5lge2L+bUX2xIaJLxk/4cVLuMaxN5LQFv3LG6HUImsk1h85M4cXxlzjuGvm8uiuo6g/3Ap++N7FxArSHn+7ClZCmKwk5C7H68b25kq1oLWLRKtggrf4X8ic6Lpv", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Model Material 1" = _t, #"Model Material 1 Usage" = _t, #"Model Material 2" = _t, #"Model Material 2 Usage" = _t, #"Model Material 3" = _t, #"Model Material 3 Usage" = _t, #"Model Material 4" = _t, #"Model Material 4 Usage" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Model Material 1", type text}, {"Model Material 1 Usage", Int64.Type}, {"Model Material 2", type text}, {"Model Material 2 Usage", Int64.Type}, {"Model Material 3", type text}, {"Model Material 3 Usage", Int64.Type}, {"Model Material 4", type text}, {"Model Material 4 Usage", Int64.Type}}), ColumnsMaterial = List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type"), each not Text.Contains(_, "Usage")), ColumnsUsage = List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type"), each Text.Contains(_, "Usage")), CreateListMaterial = List.Combine(List.Transform(ColumnsMaterial, (column)=> Table.Column(#"Changed Type", column))), CreateListUsage = List.Combine(List.Transform(ColumnsUsage, (column)=> Table.Column(#"Changed Type", column))), CombineFinalTable = Table.FromColumns({CreateListMaterial, CreateListUsage}, {"Material", "Usage"}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(CombineFinalTable, {"Material"}, {{"Usage Sum", each List.Sum([Usage]), type number}}) in #"Grouped Rows"Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

I tryied to use the "type table" expression to set the column name and also the values type, but seem doesn't work: in the following expression the value of column qty are seen as text values and not as number, and error is raised.
PS
does anyone have any idea where (meaning in what part of the function it can be generated) this error message comes from?
Why does it refer to a difference operation between two values?PPS
I believe the reason lies in the way the groupby function works internally and this error message reveals this internal aspect
