Hello,

I saw in the advanced editor that when i use the pivot function of Power Excel that this creates a list.distinct statement.
In my case this distinct deletes some occurences which i need for my calculation.
No my question is, is there a syntax to pivot a column without the distinct option ?

Thanks In Advance,

My best regards,

List.Distinct is essential, creates unique column names, there cannot be duplicate column names.

Most probably what you need should be done in a different way, you'll have to clarify what you need to do.
