Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Practice Question

A query contains three columns: Department, Metric, and Amount. Metric holds the text values Actual and Budget, and Amount stores corresponding decimal values. You need a result that shows one row per department with two numeric columns named Actual and Budget. In Power Query Editor, which transformation should you apply first to achieve this?

  • Unpivot the Actual and Budget columns to long format.

  • Pivot the Metric column using Amount as the values column.

  • Pivot the Department column using Metric as the values column.

  • Transpose the entire table to switch rows and columns.
