I'm trying to move data from certains columns to rows. I've tried unpivot, but it doesn't seem to keep certain data points together. This is my PQ.

Here's the new format I need to create. Can you please advise? Thank you!

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
cannot manipulate data in a picture. Suggest you reload using XL2BB and then show us also, what you wish the end result to look like. If that was in your attachment, then it was unreadable.

I downloaded XL2BB. I thought I had uploaded the query table in the attachment. The image is the new format that it needs to be in. I'll try to reload the image in XL2BB.

Thank you. I copied the code as a new step, but I received an error.

Thank you. I received this error message. Do I need to rename "Table1?" Where do I find this?

Create a blank query, go to the advanced editor, delete the blank query code, and paste the code I wrote.

The first step in the query is to retrieve the starting table. So if your starting table is in excel and has the name Table1, then it will be retrieved in the first step. If your table is named something else then change "Table1" in the first step to your table name.
