Is there a function in Power BI that can check whether a list of specified values (numbers) exists in a column?
For example, in the image below, I have a column with some values and another one with 0 and 1s. You can see that some values are marked with 1 and some with 0. In order to do this, I used IF function, but this is just too cumbersome.
I am looking for a formula that can check if the values from a list like {XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc} exist in a column and that can easily be edited when I need to add other values.
Thank you and have a good day!
Best,
Denis
You can do that by adding a custom column for example. If we assume your table is named Table and first column is named Value, then add a custom column like this:
Where the list contains all the values of interest. This will give you a boolean column Flag:
If you want an integer column with 0 and 1 values, then change the column to something like this:
= if (List.Contains({"5006", "4905"}, [Value])) then 1 else 0
I am stuck while dynamically forming a new column based certain WHERE clause from another Table in PowerBi. To give more details, let's say I have a table with item numbers associated with a Customer Name. In another table, I have to add a new column, which will dynamically add the item numbers associated with a particular customer and append as a query parameter to a base url.
So, my first table looks like this:
The second table that I want is this:
The query parameter value in the URL, has to be dynamically based on a SELECT query with a WHERE clause and pick up the ItemNumbers using the Customer field which is common between both. So, how can this be done in PowerBi? Any help would be really appreciated :)
I have one table in my model "TableRol" if I want to summarize my Date as the string I can use CONCATENATEX;
URL = CONCATENATE(CONCATENATE("http:\\mysite.com\parametersHere\getitem?='",CONCATENATEX(VALUES('TableRol'[Date]), 'TableRol'[Date],";")),"'")
What would be a correct PowerQuery syntax to extract the information from this Web JSON into a table:
I'm not very familiar with PowerQuery, and this is probably the only time I'll need this, so I'd be grateful if someone would help me out without refering me to documentation. Thanks

For future reference, if you have a column that you need to expand, you can instead click this arrow icon to the right of the column name. Clicking it should display a menu that should then allow you to specify which nested columns you want to get expand or get at. To be clear, it will expand that column for all rows in that table, not just one.
The JSON you've included is basically an array of objects, so maybe use:
Json.Document to parse the JSON, which should give you a list of records
Table.FromRecords to turn the list of records into a table.
Table.ExpandRecordColumn to expand a nested record columns.
Example implementation:
let
json = "[{""time_entry_group"":{""minutes"":301,""time_entries_params"":{""locked"":""0"",""from"":""2021-02-01"",""to"":""2021-02-28"",""customer_id"":""11223344"",""project_id"":""223388"",""service_id"":""435248""},""revenue"":57691.6666666667,""project_id"":223388,""project_name"":""Scrb"",""service_id"":435248,""service_name"":""Meetings"",""month"":""202102""}},{""time_entry_group"":{""minutes"":1175,""time_entries_params"":{""locked"":""1"",""from"":""2021-01-01"",""to"":""2021-01-31"",""customer_id"":""11223344"",""project_id"":""223388"",""service_id"":""421393""},""revenue"":225208.333333333,""project_id"":223388,""project_name"":""Scrb"",""service_id"":421393,""service_name"":""Design"",""month"":""202101""}},{""time_entry_group"":{""minutes"":24,""time_entries_params"":{""locked"":""1"",""from"":""2021-01-01"",""to"":""2021-01-31"",""customer_id"":""11223344"",""project_id"":""3168911"",""service_id"":""95033""},""revenue"":4600,""project_id"":3168911,""project_name"":""youkn Dev"",""service_id"":95033,""service_name"":""Reviews"",""month"":""202101""}}]",
parsed = Json.Document(json),
initialTable = Table.FromRecords(List.Transform(parsed, each [time_entry_group])),
expanded = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(initialTable, "time_entries_params", {"locked", "from", "to", "customer_id"})
in
expanded
One thing about the code above is that it doesn't expand nested fields project_id and service_id (present within time_entries_params). This is because these columns already exist in the table (and having duplicate column names would cause an error). I've assumed this isn't a problem, as the nested values aren't different.
I have the following query in M:
= Table.Combine({
Table.Distinct(Table.SelectColumns(Tab1,{"item"})),
Table.Distinct(Table.SelectColumns(Tab2,{"Column1"}))
})
Is it possible to get it working without prior changing column names?
I want to get something similar to SQL syntax:
select item from Tab1 union all
select Column1 from Tab2
If you need just one column from each table then you may use this code:
= Table.FromList(List.Distinct(Tab1[item])
& List.Distinct(Tab2[Column1]))
If you use M (like in your example or the append query option) the columns names must be the same otherwise it wont work.
But it works in DAX with the command
=UNION(Table1; Table2)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/union-function-dax
It's not possible in Power Query M. Table.Combine make an union with columns that match. If you want to keep all in the same step you can add the change names step instead of tap2 like you did with Table.SelectColumns.
This comparison of matching names is to union in a correct way.
Hope you can manage in the same step if that's what you want.
I am trying to run a SharePoint api query to match against a column with a specific value.
The column value contains a space which is resulting in the query not working as expected. Returning anything with 'value' in the column rather than just items where the column = 'value 2'.
My current url looks like where $listId is a list guid
https://mysite.sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext='(customColumn:value 2)+AND+(ListID:$listId)'&selectproperties='Name,Title,Description,Author,LastModifiedTime,Path'
What is the syntax for
(customColumn:value 2)
That allows me to only return results where customColumn = "value 2"?
Try to encode the endpoint as
_api/search/query?querytext='customColumn:value%202'
My test Sample:
/_api/search/query?querytext='Title:Developer%20-%20Wiki1 Author:Lee'
