Add Multiple Values in Column per ID

[Kureigu]

Hi,

I have a table of IDs that derive from another table, I need to add a list of values for each ID (years) so that I can summarise data into a table for each year. The years are as a list in another table. Can do this either in PowerQuery or PowerBi, whichever makes sense... (I assumed the former, but haven't had any luck with either so far).

Essentially I have this:

ID
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

And i need this:

ID	AY
1	2017
1	2018
1	2019
1	2020
2	2017
2	2018
2	2019
2	2020
3	2017

I assumed it'd be easy, I've found a lot of DAX to be fairly straight forward so far... But apparently not!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Kureigu it will be easier to do in PQ, merge your ID table with the 2nd table which has the year on the ID column, and after the merge step, expand the column you just created and you will get all the years for each ID.

Something like this:

Thanks guys, I really appreciated it... I seriously doubt I would've been able to discover that solution without your help.

Hello @Kureigu ,

Create an additional column and do cross join.
