I am facing issue with pivoting the columns in power query. below is the error and my code:
let
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://sv211140-cuic1XXXXX")),
row = Source{0}[row],
#"Expanded column" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(row, "column", {"Element:Text", "Attribute:index", "Attribute:name"}, {"Element:Text", "Attribute:index.1", "Attribute:name"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded column",{"Attribute:index.1", "Attribute:index"}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[#"Attribute:name"]), "Attribute:name", "Element:Text")
in
#"Pivoted Column"

Hi @Maha1
The solution @BA_Pete provided is excellent, and i want to do some stretching for your solution @BA_Pete so that can provide more information for the user.
You need to add an index column group by the attribute type.
let
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://sv211140-cuic1XXXXX")),
row = Source{0}[row],
#"Expanded column" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(row, "column", {"Element:Text", "Attribute:index", "Attribute:name"}, {"Element:Text", "Attribute:index.1", "Attribute:name"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded column",{"Attribute:index.1", "Attribute:index"})
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Removed Columns", {"Attribute:name"}, {{"Count", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_,"Index",1,1),type table}}),
#"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Count", {"Element:Text", "Index"}, {"Element:Text", "Index"}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Expanded Count", List.Distinct(#"Expanded Count"[#"Attribute:name"]), "Attribute:name", "Element:Text")
in
#"Pivoted Column"
Then expanded it, and then pivot it.
If this help, please consider to mark the solution and the solution @BA_Pete provided for more people to refer to.

Hi @Maha1 ,
You've not included the actual error description in your post, but my guess is it's a "not enough items to enumerate" error.
If so, then try adding an Index column to the table before you pivot.
