Hi everyone,
I have tried this multiple ways/times and am now getting a headache form banging my head against the wall 🙂 .
My issue is that I have a column taken from my source with multiple information and data types.
The report updates everyday with the latest data and I am only interested in the total parts produced cells in this column for my visual and these values are in the same cell locations each day.
I have done it with a simple filter on the column for the first day, but the next day shows a blank report because the filter is made to show the specific values form the previous day only!
Is it possible create a new column and return only these 5 cells that I require? Is it possible to make a new column and reference the the cells {12,24,48,60,72} only so that the values update daily with the refreshed data?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Regards
Franco.

Hi @francobonelli ,
Glad to hear that you have found the solution. Could you share us your solution?
In addition, you can add an index column to get what you want like so:

Hi Icey
Yes, the solution started by me remebering that Power BI works in tables etc and not columns & rows like excel.
So, 1st I set an index and filtered the data I wanted out relative to the 1st index rows[12,24,36,48,60]. Then I added a new index column to start from 1 on this filtered data and used this 'new' index to link the table to my other tables.
Thanks for all your help everyone and interest 🙂

@francobonelli , do you have cell number column. Else add an index column, if that gives the cell/row number you want you can have new column or measure https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45715963/creating-an-index-column-for-power-bi
new column =
if( [index] in {12,24,48,60,72} , [Col1], blank())
Hi Amit
Thanks for your reply.
I have a number column and thus the cell/row locations I would like to show.
The formula is giving an error:

Franco the newbie 😄
@francobonelli , Sorry that was dax code, in power query try like
= if [index] = 12 or [index] = 24 or [index] = 48 or [index] = 60 or [index] = 72 then [Col1]
or
new column =
if [index] in {12,24,48,60,72} then [Col1]
Hi Amit
I had to change text to type whole number to avoid errors, but the new column just shows blank.
I just need to show the values at those specific cells(in the defined range) in a new column.
Regards
Hi Amit again! 🙂
I guess what I am trying to do is find the Power BI equivalent of the =index formula in MS Excel, which until now, I don't think there is a simple formula for as far as I can find.
