Hi,


I am very new to power query and I am trying to get the records that are all in column and unpivot them. I was able to do it but the query takes a long time to run. Could you take a look at the attached file and help me out?



Power Query: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Sweep"]}[Content],
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if Text.StartsWith([COL1], "Record") then 1 else null),
    #"Replaced Errors" = Table.ReplaceErrorValues(#"Added Custom", {{"Custom", null}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Replaced Errors", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom.1", each List.Sum(List.FirstN(#"Added Index"[Custom],[Index]))),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Added Custom1", {"Custom.1"}, {{"All", each _, type table [COL1=any, Custom=nullable number, Index=number, Custom.1=number]}}),
    #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each Table.AddIndexColumn([All],"ColIden",1)),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom2", "Custom", {"COL1", "ColIden"}, {"Custom.COL1", "Custom.ColIden"}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Custom",{"All"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns", {{"Custom.ColIden", type text}}, "en-US"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns", {{"Custom.ColIden", type text}}, "en-US")[Custom.ColIden]), "Custom.ColIden", "Custom.COL1"),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"4", "Custom.1"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns1",{{"1", "Record Number"}}),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"Record Number", "2", "3", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25", "26", "27", "28", "29", "30", "31"}),

You say you’re trying to unpivot columns, but I don’t see any unpivot steps and it’s not clear which columns you are trying to unpivot. Can you post a sample workbook?

Hi Matt,

Thanks for responding. I attached screen shot of the table with just one column with all the data. The records are separated by the word "Record" space, number and then colon.

We can't help with only a picture here... but to give you a push in the right direction:
You can add more text.contains to filter your desired columns.

PS: I would rather look at how your data is coming out of the source system...this is a mess

Power Query: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    nCol = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if Text.Contains([COL1],"Record") then [COL1] else null),
    fill = Table.FillDown(nCol,{"Custom"}),
    grp = Table.Group(fill, {"Custom"},
        {
            {"tbls", each List.Select(_[COL1], (x)=>
                    Text.Contains(x,"date") or
                    Text.Contains(x, "station") or
                    Text.Contains(x,"blabla")
                   )
            }
        }
    )
in
    grp

I don't normally do this, but here we go. Ken covers this in our Power Query Academy online training course available at Skillwave Training

Here is a link to the video from that course. Private video on Vimeo

I will probably disable the link sometime, so please take a look ASAP

Thanks Matt, that was helpful! My original data column does not have a nice pattern in the same number of rows. Every new record does start with the word “Record”, though and every record could have different number of rows.

"My original data column does not have a nice pattern in the same number of rows."

I only counted off the rows in the image, but from the rows you shared, it seems to restart every 19 rows? Or does that vary further down? If I could get my hands on a sample of the data (rather than an image) that contains the issue, I could help you work though it...

We can't help with only a picture here... but to give you a push in the right direction:
You can add more text.contains to filter your desired columns.

PS: I would rather look at how your data is coming out of the source system...this is a mess

Power Query: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    nCol = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if Text.Contains([COL1],"Record") then [COL1] else null),
    fill = Table.FillDown(nCol,{"Custom"}),
    grp = Table.Group(fill, {"Custom"},
        {
            {"tbls", each List.Select(_[COL1], (x)=>
                    Text.Contains(x,"date") or
                    Text.Contains(x, "station") or
                    Text.Contains(x,"blabla")
                   )
            }
        }
    )
in
    grp
