I implemented my owned service that returm MTable to insert a table in my doc.
Someone have examples on how to merge cells ?
I would like, for example, a table with 2 columns. The first column composed of only one cell, and the second column composed of 3 cells.
Thanks
For the moment this is not supported by M2Doc.

I need help on this issue as i don't have any experience in Power Bi. I want to join 2 table in Power Bi where it have the same column which is Part_Number. How can i make this 2 table to match by Part Number and return the value?

Inventory Table
I would like to have Part Number, Part Name, QTY, Total Quantity as the result. Hope that i can the clarification i need. Thanks a lot!
For this case you simply must merge the tables. It doesn't look like you have done a lot of research on the matter though, so it's hard to understand exactly what you need help with.
To merge your two tables in Power Query, I would right click in the left hand side menu and select Merge Queries as New.
After that you simply follow the on-screen instructions and select your two tables and their respective key columns. After merging you can choose to disable load of your two original tables to save space in your data model, but this depends on your requirements.
If this was my data model, I would think on why joining these tables are necessary, instead of using these two tables as fact tables, and creating a third table to handle the part number dimension with associated part metadata.
Read the docs: Merge queries in Power Query
Hello M language masters!
I have a question about working with grouped rows when the Power Query creates a table with data. But maybe it is better to start from the beginning.
Important information! I will be asking for example only about adding an index. I know that there are different possibilities to reach such a result. But for this question, I need an answer about the possibility to work on tables. I want to use this answer in different actions (e.g table sorting, adding columns in group table).
In my sample data source, I have a list of fake transactions. I want to add an index for each Salesman, to count operations for each of them.
Sample Data
So I just added this file as a data source in Power BI. In Power query, I have grouped rows according to name. This step created form me column contained a table for each Salesman, which stores all his or her operations.
Grouping result
And now, I want to add an index column in each table. I know, that this is possible by adding a new column to the main table, which will be store a new table with added index:
Custom column function
And in each table, I have Indexed. That is good. But I have an extra column now (one with the table without index, and one with a table with index).
Result - a little bit messy
So I want to ask if there is any possibility to add such an index directly to the table in column Operations, without creating the additional column. My approach seems to be a bit messy and I want to find something cleaner. Does anyone know a smart solution for that?
Thank you in advance.

Sure, you may do it inside Table.Group function:
= Table.Group(Source, {"Salesman"}, {"Operations", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "i", 1, 1)})
P.S. To add existing index column to nested table use this code:
= Table.ReplaceValue(PreviousStep,each [index],0,(a,b,c)=>Table.AddColumn(a,"index", each b),{"Operations"})
Working on a way to compare 2 tables in PowerBI.
I'm joining the 2 tables using the primary key and making custom columns that compare if the old and new are equal.
This doesn't seem like the most efficient way of doing things, and I can't even color code the matrix because some values aren't integers.
Any suggestions?
I did a big project like this last year, comparing two versions of a data warehouse (SQL database).
I tackled most of it in the Query Editor (actually using Power Query for Excel, but that's the same as PBI's Query Editor).
My key technique was to first create a Query for each table, and use Unpivot Other Columns on everything apart from the Primary Key columns. This transforms it into rows of Attribute, Value. You can filter Attribute to just the columns you want to compare.
Then in a new Query you can Merge & Expand the "old" and "new" Queries, joining on on the Primary Key columns + the Attribute column. Then add Filter or Add Column steps to get to your final output.
If is possible with the if(indirect formula to give me the value from the same row but from a different column if a specific cell is from that row?
More specific: I want cell =Sheet2!F23 to give me =Sheet1!N11 if =sheet2!C23 is from Sheet1!B11.
The important thing is the I need it to come from row 11 but from a different column.
Thanks in advance.
I did the following:
On Sheet 1 i gave all the rows a unique number in column A
On sheet 2 i just put in the unique number(C23) and the rest of the cells on that row used the formula below with. The only thing i needed to change was the index of which column needed to be matched.
It might not be the most efficient way but i worked for me.
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!B:B;MATCH($C23;Sheet1!$A:$A;0));"")
I want to use vlookup formula with 2 scenarios:
Example: I have sheet 1 with full data and Sheet 2 with other information. In sheet 2 I want to pull those records which exists in sheet 1 with vlookup. I have already wrote that query for vlookup. In same I want to add below conditions:
1) column c2,A2 & G2 of sheet2 are matching in any row of Sheet 1.
My vlookup formula is this:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet3!$A$2:$J$20332,10,FALSE)
There are duplicate rows in column A and thats why it is not working as a primary key. Kindly share your thought.
You should be able to construct a primary key by linking together all the information which will create a singular entry.
Given the limited info you provided I would go with creating in both sheets a new column with:
=A2&C2&G2
You could then do a vlookup based on this singular value and get the information from one sheet into the other.
