How to transpose the columns and ensure that rows are repeated accordingly?

Dataset has the following data :-

Date Year Month Day USD EUR JPY
1/1/1994 1994 1 1 10 20 5
1/1/1995 1995 1 1 12 30 10

The expected output is :-

Date Year Month Day Currency Currency/CCY
1/1/1994 1994 1 1 USD 10
1/1/1994 1994 1 1 EUR 20
1/1/1994 1994 1 1 JPY 5
1/1/1995 1995 1 1 USD 12
1/1/1995 1995 1 1 EUR 30
1/1/1995 1995 1 1 JPY 10

This can be accomplished quickly and easily using POWER QUERY. To achieve this using the said procedure, follow the steps:


  • First convert the source ranges into a table and name it accordingly, for this example I have named it as Table1

  • Next, open a blank query from Data Tab --> Get & Transform Data --> Get Data --> From Other Sources --> Blank Query

  • The above lets the Power Query window opens, now from Home Tab --> Advanced Editor --> And paste the following M-Code by removing whatever you see, and press Done

    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Date", "Year", "Month", "Day"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{{"Date", type date}}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Attribute", "Currency"}, {"Value", "Currency/CCY"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

  • Lastly, to import it back to Excel --> Click on Close & Load or Close & Load To --> The first one which clicked shall create a New Sheet with the required output while the latter will prompt a window asking you where to place the result.

Or, Using Excel Formulas to UNPIVOT OTHER COLUMNS

• Formula used in cell A6

=LET(
    _data, A1:G3,
    _matrixOne, TAKE(_data,,4),
    _matrixTwo, DROP(_data,,4),
    _headerOne, TAKE(_matrixOne,1),
    _headerTwo, TAKE(_matrixTwo,1),
    _bodyOne, DROP(_matrixOne,1),
    _bodyTwo, DROP(_matrixTwo,1),
    _diemn, ROWS(_bodyOne)*COLUMNS(_headerTwo),
    _rowDiemn, MOD(SEQUENCE(_diemn,,0),COLUMNS(_headerTwo))+1,
    _rowDiemx, INT((SEQUENCE(_diemn,,0))/COLUMNS(_headerTwo))+1,
    _transformHeader, INDEX(_headerTwo,_rowDiemn),
    _transformMatrixOne, INDEX(_bodyOne,_rowDiemx,SEQUENCE(1,COLUMNS(_matrixOne))),
    _transformMatrixTwo, INDEX(_bodyTwo,SEQUENCE(_diemn,,0)/COLUMNS(_headerTwo)+1,_rowDiemn),
    _topHeader, HSTACK(_headerOne,"Currency","Currency/CCY"),
    _bottomBody, HSTACK(_transformMatrixOne,_transformHeader,_transformMatrixTwo),
    VSTACK(_topHeader,_bottomBody))
