I have a worksheet of data coming in from access to excel in the following way:
[TABLE="width: 256"]
<colgroup><col span="4"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]
custid [/TD]
[TD]
name[/TD]
[TD]
home_branch[/TD]
[TD]
type[/TD]

[TD]189[/TD]
[TD]AnyName[/TD]
[TD] 19 [/TD]
[TD] MTW25[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]189[/TD]
[TD]AnyName[/TD]
[TD] 19 [/TD]
[TD]ROMEX11[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]189[/TD]
[TD]AnyName[/TD]
[TD] 19[/TD]
[TD]CUWIRE9[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[TABLE="width: 256"]
<colgroup><col span="4"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
I would like the data to go across like this...

189 AnyName 19 MTW25 ROMEX11 CUWIRE9

I thought I could create a crosstab query in Access to do this, but didn't seem to work. I then thought I could do it in Excel using a Pivot Table. Again, it didn't seem to work.

Does anyone have any ideas on this. I do not want to reinvent the wheel to do this. I thought it was going to be rather simple when I was first asked to do it. But, apparently not.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.

In order to get the layout you want, it would take a VBA macro. I can write that if you really need it, but here's a possible workaround.

If your sheet looks like this:

ABCDEF
189, AnyName, 19
189, AnyName, 19
189, AnyName, 19
190, Name2, 18
190, Name2, 18
191, Name3, 18
191, Name3, 18

Add the E and F columns. Put the E3 formula in and drag down. And in column F, just put a 1 in every row.

Now select this range: D1:F9 (your sheet will vary). Click on the Insert tab, and click Pivot Table. Click OK in the dialog box. You'll get a new tab. On the right side of this sheet is the Pivot table setup panel. Drag type to the Rows box, drag type to the Columns box, and drag Count to the Values box.

Voila! You should get this:

Not exactly what you were looking for, but the various types will be across the top, and there will be a 1 in the column if there's a match.

Let me know if this helps.

For Power Query You could use the following Code

Code: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"custid", Int64.Type}, {"name", type text}, {"home_branch", Int64.Type}, {"type", type text}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[#"type"]), "type", "type"),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Pivoted Column",{{"MTW25", type binary}, {"ROMEX11", type binary}, {"CUWIRE9", type binary}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type1",null,"",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"MTW25", "ROMEX11", "CUWIRE9"}),
    #"Replaced Errors" = Table.ReplaceErrorValues(#"Replaced Value", {{"MTW25", ""}, {"ROMEX11", ""}, {"CUWIRE9", ""}})
in
    #"Replaced Errors"
