Hi Everyone,
I need to reorder the contents of each row into new columns based on the date within the cells and remove the date from the cell. I've included an example of the raw and transformed data below. My apologies if this question has been asked before. I have been googling for days and haven't been able to find a resolution. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
RAW Data Export:
| Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | Column4 |
Client1 | 24/08 9 | 31/08 19 | 10/08 6 | 17/08 4 |
Client2 | 31/08 3 | 14/09 2 | 17/08 0 | 07/09 1 |
Client3 | 17/08 2 | 24/08 3 | 31/08 1 | 07/09 4 |
TRANSFORMED Data:
| 10/08 | 17/08 | 24/08 | 31/08 | 07/09 | 14/09 |
Client1 | 6 | 4 | 9 | 19 |
|
|
Client2 |
| 0 |
| 3 | 1 | 2 |
Client3 |
| 2 | 3 | 1 | 4 |
|
Thanks

Hello @campbellmurphy
some unpivoting, splitting column and pivoting again should do the trick
Here the complete code
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wcs7JTM0rMVTSUTIy0TewULAEsowNQSxDENPQAMQ0A7HMQSwTpVgdmCYjuFJjkDxQu6WCEVylAZBlYA4SM0TSYwyXN4JbaXxoAcJSuC6gTbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"(blank)" = _t, Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"(blank)"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Attribute"}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Value", Splitter.SplitTextByEachDelimiter({" "}, QuoteStyle.Csv, true), {"Value.1", "Value.2"}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"(blank)", type text}, {"Value.1", type date}, {"Value.2", Int64.Type}}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type", {{"Value.1", type text}}, "de-DE"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type", {{"Value.1", type text}}, "de-DE")[Value.1]), "Value.1", "Value.2", List.Sum)
in
#"Pivoted Column"
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
