Hi there,

I was wondering if you help me transform the following dataset?

This is how it comes out of the system:
EmpNumProductNameInputNameEntryValueProduct Entry ID
Emp1ApplesTypeGrannySmith
123​
Emp1ApplesUnits
5​
123​
Emp1ApplesTypeGala
456​
Emp1ApplesUnits
3​
456​
Emp1ApplesTypeBraeburn
789​
Emp1ApplesUnits
1​
789​
Emp1ApplesTypePinkLady
321​
Emp1ApplesUnits
7​
321​

This is how I want it to look like:

EmpNumProductNameTypeUnitsProduct Entry ID
Emp1ApplesGrannySmith
5​
123​
Emp1ApplesGala
3​
456​
Emp1ApplesBraeburn
1​
789​
Emp1ApplesPinkLady
7​
321​

All solutions are welcome!

Please explain your thought process with solving this as I can seem to crack this using Power Query!

Many thanks! :)
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    cols = {"Type", "Units"},
    tblGroup = Table.Group(Source, {"EmpNum", "ProductName", "Product Entry ID"}, {{"rcd", each Record.FromList([EntryValue],cols)}}),
    tblExpand = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(tblGroup, "rcd", cols)
in
    tblExpand
