showing data in matrix

Im going to show numbers per company per week in a table or matrix, but the way the data shows is wrong. I want the weeks to be horizontaly and the companies to be vertically. right now in my queries i have one column with weeks, and the numbers for the companies in each column. Is there a way i can put all the columns as rows instead. I dont want to use transpose, since then the weeks will be as columns. What im basically looking for is a way to have one column with the names of the company, one column for the week the data is from, and one column with the data. What i have now is a column with weeks, and seperate columns for each company.

Hello @Anonymous 

 

if I got you right you need the pivot-function. Check out this solution

let
	Source = #table
	(
		{"Company","Week","Value"},
		{
			{"A","Week 1","1"},	{"A","Week 2","2"},	{"A","Week 3","3"},	{"A","Week 4","4"},	{"B","Week 1","5"},	{"B","Week 2","6"},	{"B","Week 3","7"},	{"B","Week 4","8"},	
			{"B","Week 5","9"},	{"C","Week 1","10"},	{"C","Week 2","11"},	{"C","Week 3","12"},	{"C","Week 4","13"}
		}
	),
    ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Value", Int64.Type}}),
    Pivot = Table.Pivot(ChangedType, List.Distinct(ChangedType[Week]), "Week", "Value", List.Sum)
in
    Pivot

 

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works. If this solution fits your need, copy and past a part of it and implement it in your query or just select the week-column and select Transform -> Pivot column. In my solution i selected SUM for the aggregation. Change this if another calculation is needed (in case of multiple rows on Company/week-level.

Hey @Jimmy801 

 

Thank you, I simply used the unpivit column function to fix it. But thanks for the help. 

Hello @Anonymous 

 

but this is exactly what I've written and showed you with the M-code
