Hello Power BI Experts,
I am working on a data where I would like to switch a few columns to bottom of other columns.
Actually it's difficult for me to explain hence I colored the data for easy understanding.

1. Green color data to be repeated
2. Orange color data to be considered first
3. Blue color data to be considered later

Request your assistance/guidance to accomplish this in Power BI. Thank you,

I would need to see the underlying code. Open the advanced editor and copy the code there, and paste in a reply.

Or if you want to try to edit it yourself append the last three steps of my code to yours and change the table names to match your code.
