Hello fellows,
I have a data table looks like this
Sales | 1:3 |
Cost | 4 |
Tax | 5:6 |
I want to convert them into:
Sales | 1 |
Sales | 2 |
Sales | 3 |
Cost | 4 |
Tax | 5 |
Tax | 6 |
Anyone has some ideas?
Best Regards,
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here's a (somewhat pedestrian) way of doing that in Power Query. I am sure there are more elegant solutions.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCk7MSS1W0lEytDJWitWJVnLOLy4Bck3AnJDECiDb1MpMKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Transaction Type" = _t, Range = _t]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each let
d= Text.PositionOf([Range],":"),
r= if d = -1 then List.Numbers(Number.FromText([Range]),1)
else List.Numbers(Number.FromText(Text.Start([Range],d)),1+Number.FromText(Text.End([Range],Text.Length([Range])-d-1))-Number.FromText(Text.Start([Range],d)))
in
r
),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")
in
#"Expanded Custom"
@Anonymous it is pretty straight forward, start new blank query and click advanced editor and paste the following code
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCk7MSS1W0lEytDJWitWJVnLOLy4Bck3AnJDECiDb1MpMKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [A = _t, B = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"A", type text}, {"B", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Pos", each Text.PositionOf([B],":")),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "List", each if [Pos]=-1 then {Number.FromText([B])} else
{Number.FromText(Text.Middle([B],0,[Pos]))..Number.FromText(Text.Middle([B],[Pos]+1))}),
#"Expanded List" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom1", "List"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded List",{"Pos"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
. The main logic is in step #"Added Custom1"

Thank you @edhans for the inspiration:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCk7MSS1W0lEytDJWitWJVnLOLy4Bck3AnJDECiDb1MpMKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Transaction Type" = _t, Range = _t]),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom.1", each Expression.Evaluate("{" & Text.Replace([Range],":","..") & "}")),
#"Expanded Custom.1" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Custom.1")
in
#"Expanded Custom.1"
I transfromed the table into
min | max | |
Sales | 1 | 3 |
Cost | 4 | 4 |
Tax | 5 | 6 |
Still not sure how can I use it to mapping though...
