Stop wasting time creating complex formulas to transpose data in columns with multiple headers to get proper tabular data. With Excel's Power Query you can easily create a dynamic solution to transform your report-style data into a dataset you can use to run Pivot Tables on or do further analysis on with formulas.

Unpivot means to create rows from columns. For example if you have a sales report and the months Jan - Dec are each reported in its own column. By Unpivoting we "shrink" this report with 12 columns for the months into a tabular format where all months are consolidated in one column and the data is shown in the rows. This way your data is properly structured for further analysis.
