I want to move a single value from column B to column A, how can I achieve it in the most simplest way in Power Query / Query Editor (Power BI)?
Please see attached images.
I know I might need to declare a variable so please enlighten me. By the way, I will delete row 1 afterwards, promote my headers, and rename column2 as PERIOD.
Thank you.
This might be along the lines of what you want to do.
If I start with this table named as Table1:
Then I click on the fx to the left of the formula bar:
And type = Table.InsertRows(Source, Table.RowCount(Source), {[Column2 = Source[KP20 rate]{0}, KP20 rate = null, Column4 = null]}) into the formula bar:
I used Table.InsertRows to create a new row in Table1. Source is the name of the latest state of Table1 after it is pulled into Power Query and before I do this step. So I actually use Source as the name of the table for this step instead of Table1. (Each applied step basically results in its own table. You probably know this already, but others may not.) So for this step I use Source as the table name in the Table.InsertRows statement. Then, since I want the new row to appear at the bottom of Source, I just enter the Table.RowCount of Source as the row number location for the new row. Then I enter each of the Columns' names and their values to be added. For Column2, I entered the value "Source[KP20 rate]{0}." Source[KP20 rate]{0} basically treats column KP20 rate as a list, where {0} serves as a pointer to the first item in the list. To target the second item in Source[KP20 rate] you would use Source[KP20 rate]{1}. You can see that I set the values for the other two columns (KP20 rate and Column4) to null.
The result:
Here's the M code in case you want to see it:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
Custom1 = Table.InsertRows(Source, Table.RowCount(Source), {[Column2 = Source[KP20 rate]{0}, KP20 rate = null, Column4 = null]})
in
Custom1

I have a simple problem. Let's assume I have the following
Now I want to add a specific vector or list for example (1,2,2,1) as an additional column and it should look like
When I add "Custom Column", how do I have to enter this list that it creates exactly this column?
It should not be a index column or a calculated column because I want to specify the values depending on another column manually. It seems like it is a very simple task, but I couldn't find any solutions yet! (I feel very stupid xD)
pls help
Thank you!
let Source = #table({"Column1"},{{"A"},{"B"},{"C"},{"D"}}),
Add = {{1,2,2,1}},
part1=Table.ToColumns(Source) & Add,
part2= Table.FromColumns(part1,Table.ColumnNames(Source)&{"Column2"})
in part2
or perhaps, if grabbing column from another table
let Source = #table({"Column1"},{{"A"},{"B"},{"C"},{"D"}}),
part1=Table.ToColumns(Source) & Table.ToColumns(Table.SelectColumns(SomeOtherTable,"Column9")),
part2 = Table.FromColumns(part1,Table.ColumnNames(Source)&{"Column2"})
in part2
Copy your Column1
Open the Enter Data / Create Table UI and paste Column1
Add your specific vector as Column2 and save the new table
Merge the new table into your original table using both Column1
Note that Column1 has to be a key column (unique values). If it's not, create a temporary index column and use that for merging.
I have a table similar to the one attached below:
What I would like to do, using power query, is conditionally filter out (remove) rows where CenterNum = 1101 and DepCode = 257. I figured Table.SelectRows() would work but it doesn't and the query just returns, this table is empty. The #"Expanded AccountLookup" ,in my formula below, is referencing the power query applied step before the one I am trying to create. I'm hoping to get some input on how to remove rows based on these two paramters.
= Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded AccountLookup", each [CostCenterNumber] = "1111001" and [NoteTypeCode] = "257")
Thank you!
You didn’t post a screenshot so it is hard to tell if the column format is text or numerical but try removing the quotes around the numbers
= Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded AccountLookup", each [CostCenterNumber] = 1111001 and [NoteTypeCode] = 257)
If that doesn't work, check the actual column names against what you are using, especially for case (upper/lower) and leading/trailing spaces. The best way to do that is to temporarily rename it, and look at the code for the "from name"
I have created a table in Power BI and it has deal names, deal stage, amount, sales region etc. Is there any way, where if I select the deal name - it should be coloured or highlighted and stay like that unless i remove it?
You can make it this way. Create an additional table with Label (column which you use to slice/select) don't add relationship!. For example, I want to highlight Day from the selected month (not filtering). We need to create a measure to check what is pickedup
WhatISelected = var __label = SELECTEDVALUE(MonthLabel[Calendar[Month]]])
return
if (SELECTEDVALUE(Query1[Calendar[Month]]]) = __label, 1,0)
Then go to conditional Formating:
Repeat for every column.
As you see below, I Select February.
The picture I have attached shows what my power query table looks like (exactly the same as source file) and then underneath what I would like the final end product to look like.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the purpose of power query/power bi was to not manipulate the source file but do this in power query/power bi?
If that's the case, how can I enter new columns and data to the existing table below?
You can add custom columns without manipulating source file in power bi. Please refer to below link.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-add-custom-column
EDIT: Based on your comment editing my answer - Not sure if this helps.
Click on edit queries after loading source file to power bi.
Using 'Enter Data' button entered sample data you provided and created new table. Data can be copy pasted from excel. You can enter new rows manually. Using Tag number column to keep reference.
Merge Queries - Once the above table is created merged it with original table on tag number column.
Expand Table - In the original table expand the merged table. Uncheck tag number(as it is already present) and uncheck use original column name as prefix.
Now the table will look like the way you wanted it.
You can always change data(add new columns/rows) manually in new table by clicking on gear button next to source.
Here is the closest solution to what I found from "manual data entry" letting you as much freedom as you would like to add rows of data, if the columns that you want to create do not follow a specific pattern.
I used an example for the column "Mob". I have not exactly reproduced the content of your cells but I hope that this will not be an issue to understand the logic.
Here is the data I am starting with:
Here is the Power Query in which I "manually" add a row:
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Mob", each if [Tag Number] = "v" then null else null),
NewRows = Table.InsertRows(#"Added Conditional Column", 2, {[Mob="15-OHIO", Tag Number="4353654", Electronic ID=1.5, NLIS="", Date="31/05/2015", Live Weight="6", Draft="", Condition store="", Weighing Type="WEAN"]})
in
NewRows
1) I first created a column with only null values:
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Mob", each if [Tag Number] = "v" then null else null),
2) With the "Table.InsertRows" function:
I indicated the specific line: 2, (knowing that power Bi start counting at zero, at the "headers" so it will the third line in the file)
I indicated the column at which I wanted to insert the value, i.e "Mob"
I indicated the value that all other other rows should have:
NewRows = Table.InsertRows(#"Added Conditional Column", 2, {[Mob="15-OHIO", Tag Number="4353654", Electronic ID=1.5, NLIS="", Date="31/05/2015", Live Weight="6", Draft="", Condition store="", Weighing Type="WEAN"]})
Here is the result:
I hope this helps.
You can apply this logic for all the other rows.
I do not think that this is very scalable however, becaue you have to indicate each time the values of the rows in the other columns as well. There might be a better option.
I have my data source something like below.
I need to show output in the report as below.
I tried using the unpivot column and getting something like this, how to count the occurrence value of each Business value.
Plot following mesure against Value column (from your unpivot table):
Business Occurance = COUNTROWS('your unpivot table')
We have to remove the Attribute column as the next step to Unpivot. Then my table should be looks like this.
Now create a new table with following Dax function, let's say the current table as Business Data (Your Unpivot table)
Occurrence Table = DISTINCT('Business Data')
Now end result table should look like this,
You can make use of this table for your table visual in the report.
Note: You can add n-number of rows and column into your source table and this logic will do magic to get the correct result.
I have marked two places first marked place you have to add Value column then click second marked place one dropdown value is open click count menu
