Create duplicate row based on value, but change contents in 2 of the cells in new duplicate row

[PaulinePitt]

I need to create a new row in each instance where [split user] is not blank.  Then I need to replace contents in [assigned] with contents in [split user], replace contents in [split user] with “Y".  Is this possible?  Thank you for your help!!!

Existing Table

New Data Table

If [split user] is not blank, duplicate row, replace contents in [assigned] with contents in [split user], replace contents in [split user] with “Y"

Hi @PaulinePitt ,

We can meet your requirement in the Power Query Editor, following is the M Query

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwtNQ3NNA3UtJRCoFiIAoGYnelWB2EAkOgSBAUg2R9QTiZHCWOUAxELqjWWOobGwBFvKAYaoyRhZlSbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"created at " = _t, #"created by " = _t, assigned = _t, #"split user" = _t, #"buddy rehash" = _t, store = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"created at ", type date}, {"created by ", type text}, {"assigned", type text}, {"split user", type text}, {"buddy rehash", type text}, {"store", type text}}),
    #"New Table" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each Text.Trim([split user]) <> ""),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"New Table",{{"split user", "assigned"}, {"assigned", "split user"}}),
    #"Append Query" = Table.Combine({#"Changed Type",#"Renamed Columns"}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Append Query", "Custom", each if Text.Trim([split user]) <> "" then "Y" else ""),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"split user"}),
    #"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Custom", "split user"}}),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Renamed Columns1",{"created at ", "created by ", "assigned", "split user", "buddy rehash", "store"})
in
    #"Reordered Columns"

1. create a new table use selectrow function, then change the name of assigned and split user column

2. append the new table step by the origin table step

3. add a new column to replace value in split user into Y

4. remove unnessary column and reorder the column

BTW, pbix as attached.
