Is this DAX possible in Power Query?

Hi,

 

I currently have the below DAX to create a table based on certain supplier attributes in another table. Super simple in DAX but I feel due to the volume of records we have this will be far more effient in Power Query M. Is this possible? Every attempt so far has failed to be able to recreate in Power Query.

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous 

Place the following M code in a blank query to see the steps. I've only done the first two subtables but for the rest you can apply the same approach. See it all at work in the attached file.

let
    T1_ = let 
            s0_ = Table.SelectColumns(vwPbiSupplierSummaries, {"PBIGUID", "SupplierIndex"}),
            s1_ = Table.AddColumn(s0_, "Order", each "1" ),
            s2_ = Table.AddColumn(s1_, "Value", each "All" ),
            s3_ = Table.AddColumn(s2_, "ColorID", each "" ),
            s4_ = Table.AddColumn(s3_, "ColorOrder", each "0" ),
            s5_ = Table.AddColumn(s4_, "Attribute", each "Overall" )
           in 
             s5_,
    T2_ = let 
            s0_ = Table.SelectColumns(vwPbiSupplierSummaries, {"PBIGUID", "SupplierIndex", "AvailableDetailLevel"}),
            s1_ = Table.AddColumn(s0_, "Order", each "5" ),
            s2_ = Table.RenameColumns(s1_, {{"AvailableDetailLevel", "Value"}}),
            s3_ = Table.AddColumn(s2_, "ColorID", each if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "" then "#BBBBB6" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "1" then "#e3c294" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "2" then "#c8914d" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "3" then "#9a655b" else ""),
            s4_ = Table.AddColumn(s3_, "ColorOrder", each if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "" then "1.4" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "1" then "1.3" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "2" then "1.2" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "3" then "1.1" else "1.0"),

Just a quick follow up - I'm not sure the lines below are working as they should as they always hit the final 'else'.

 

 s3_ = Table.AddColumn(s2_, "ColorID", each if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "" then "#BBBBB6" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "1" then "#e3c294" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "2" then "#c8914d" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "3" then "#9a655b" else ""),
            s4_ = Table.AddColumn(s3_, "ColorOrder", each if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "" then "1.4" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "1" then "1.3" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "2" then "1.2" else if vwPbiSupplierSummaries[AvailableDetailLevel] = "3" then "1.1" else "1.0"),

Incredible, thanks for the speedy help! I was trying to complete it all in one step which is where I think it became overly complex.

 

Once again, thank you!

Yes.  Probably simpler/less lines of code in M than DAX for this.  Please provide sample/mock input data and example of desired output.

Hi @Anonymous 

This should be just as simple in PQ. Share your  attempt in PQ and we'll see where it goes wrong. 

Table.Combine, Table.AddColumn and Table.SelectColumns  and renaming should be most of what you need.
