Solved: How to concatinate text with some dynamic value - Page 2

azizimranz · ‎10-03-2017

Hi All,

My scenario is, need to show a url hyperlink icon based on the environment. i.e. if the environment is staging, url would have ...staging..., and if the environment is production, url would have ...production...

I need to set a custom column having a concatination of some hardcoded text with 'this dynamic server environment'

Any way of reading the system properties in powerbi, or reading another database table's value in other table and using that value in a function showing custom column?

You can also choose for a Power Query solution (Query Editor).

If you only have a single value, you can also define a Parameter.

Example query code with both alternatives:

let
    Source = #table(type table[Environment = text],{{"Env 01"},{"Env 02"}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Environnment and Server from Table B", each [Environment] & " " & Table.FirstValue(#"Table B")),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Environmemnt and Server from parameter", each [Environment] & " " & Server)
in
    #"Added Custom1"
