Dear Forum
i have three columns.
one column contains the invoice number
one column contains the description of the booking (always 5)
One column contains the Value
Instead of this descriptions on a horizontal row, I want them as a column.
How can I Transpose this?
The blue one is the goal , how my other set is to harmonize the data.

Hi Kevin,
Great to hear you found my videos helpful
Thanks for sharing your file. If you look at the value in the Rekeningnr column you'll see that it's different for each description. Similarly for some of the rows in the Rekening column. If theses values were the same on each row, then the data would Pivot more in line with the way you're expecting.
If you take a smaller sample of your data, say rows 2 - 16, and pivot that you'll see the issue more clearly. Alternatively, if you insert a PivotTable and try to pivot the Description field in the column labels, as you add fields to the row labels you'll see the issue is evident once you get to the Rekeningnr column, and then continues to get worse as you add fields to the row labels. This is the same thing that happens in Power Query when you pivot the Description column.
I hope that helps you understand the issue. Hopefully you can decide which columns you can eliminate to achieve the pivoted result you're after as that's not something I can decide for you.
