Hello!!!

I have a table connected to SQL that outputs a column for each month.
For working it better in Excel, I need to transforme that 12 columns to only 2... a first one for the values and the second for the respective month (that at this moment are the column titles).

In your opinion, which will be the better option (or if it dependes, advantages and desavantages):
a) a SQL command (not familiar to me);
b) use unpivot in Query Edit
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
