Hi,

I would be extremely grateful if you could assist me on this.

I would like to build a dashboard using Pivot Charts and using the data under various columns with various values. I need help to unpivot columns, where different columns have different classes, with each class having the same nature of values. I have colour coded the columns that need to make up one comulmn after unpivoting.

The blue tabs are products with units produced as values. These are to be one unpitvoted column with corresponding values. The lime tab are sales, with dollars as values making another unpivoted column. The purple column are expenses in two different currencies but making up one unpivotted column. The orange tabs are labour hours and the light blue are machine hours, each colour making up an unpivoted column with respective values.

Looking forward to finally overcoming this challenge.

Thanks in advance

When you connect to the entire table with Power Query, select the first two columns. Then choose Unpivot Other Columns and it will give you 4 columns. Week, Date, Attribute and Value. The Attribute column contains all the column headers and the Value column holds all the values from C6:W24.

Wouldn't that work?
