Hello folks,
I have a table from Business Central which I need to transform from this:
| Dimension Set ID | Dimension_Code | Dimension Value Code |
| 10 | Operation | DE052-01 |
| 10 | Service | 5201 |
| 17 | BA | 120 |
| 17 | Operation | DE053-01 |
| 17 | Service | 5301 |
to this:
| Dimension Set ID | Dimension_Code1 | Dimension_Code2 | Dimension_Code3 | Dimension Value Code1 | Dimension Value Code2 | Dimension Value Code3 |
| 10 | Operation | Service | null | DE052-01 | 5201 | null |
| 17 | BA | Operation | Service | 120 | DE053-01 | 5301 |
Can anyone help on this?
Reason is, that I have in BC my fixed assets table, where only the Dimension Set ID is given, but I want to have the other information in this row as well. When I do the join of those two tables, Power Query will double or triple each line for the information of the dimension set.
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
Here is one way, combine the values then split
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjRQ0lHyL0gtSizJzM8Dsl1cDUyNdA0MlWJ1oLLBqUVlmcmpQJapEUzcHMhzcgQShkYGCBF0c4x1kdUjmWMMEo8FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Dimension Set ID" = _t, Dimension_Code = _t, #"Dimension Value Code" = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Dimension Set ID", Int64.Type}, {"Dimension_Code", type text}, {"Dimension Value Code", type text}}),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Dimension Set ID"}, {{"Dimension_Code", each Text.Combine([Dimension_Code],";")},{"Dimension Value Code",each Text.Combine([Dimension Value Code],";")}}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Dimension_Code", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(";", QuoteStyle.Csv)),
#"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Split Column by Delimiter", "Dimension Value Code", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(";", QuoteStyle.Csv))
in
#"Split Column by Delimiter1"
Thank you, @Anonymous , that's brilliant!
