Copy to the column by the number of rows (Query Editor)

Here's one approach that might go close...

 

Create a function "NewList":

 

(Quantity, Code, Code2) =>
let
NewList = List.Generate(()=>
// Start your counter at 0 and seed your list "Result" with your required values
[QtyCntr = 0, Result = {Code & " (" & Code2 & ")"}],
// As you increment the counter to the limit of Quantity, build up another value set
each [QtyCntr] < Quantity, each [QtyCntr=[QtyCntr]+1, Result = {Code & " (" & Code2 & ")"}],
//Return each value set (one for each Quantity)
each [Result])
in
NewList

 

Create a Table2 to reference your source Table1, calls the function for each row, and expands the lists of lists out:

let
    Source = Table1,
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each NewList([Quantity],[Code],[Code 2])),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom"),
    #"Expanded Custom1" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "Custom")
in
    #"Expanded Custom1"

Then tidy your columns as needed...

Hi @skopcak,

 

At first, I thought this could be achieved using some Table functions(M) like Table.SelectRows, and Table.Repeat etc. And I have tried a lot, but still can't work it out(trying to studying M currentlySmiley LOL). @ImkeF, could you help us?

 

Regards
