Introduction to Power BI

Pivoting Data

Let's dive into creating pivoted data in Power BI using the Matrix visual and Power Query. The Matrix visual allows you to easily drag and drop fields into Rows, Columns, and Values areas to create interactive pivot tables. For more advanced manipulation, Power Query lets you pivot columns directly in your dataset by transforming rows into columns based on your chosen fields.
