From Power Query

 

I want to group the data by "sid" and and transpose the name column to headers such that it looks like below.

Any direction would be well appreciated!  I am using Power Query.

 

  • Hi Des75 , here is an example of what you can do, if I understood well your problem:

     

     

    Steps:

    1. Select "Transform" ribbon item
    2. Select the column in which you have your future headers (for you it will be "name")

    3. Press "Pivot column" button

    4. In the settings, select the column in which you have the values (for you it will be "value")

    5. In the advanced settings, select "Do not agregate" option

    6. You're done!
