List.Accumulate source column name

Hello altrusits,

 

 Can someone help me how to choose a column name as a source for the function  List.Accumulate ?

Thanks in advance. 

 

My code is as follows:

= Table.AddColumn(#"previous step", "new column", each List.Accumulate(Table.ToList(#"Table list  here, this table has many columns so I want to specify the column name"),"",(state,current)=>

if Text.Contains([column to look forl],current,Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
then current&"/"&state
else state))

Hi @sparvez,

 

I guess you are questioning this bit?

Text.Contains([column to look forl],current,Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

You can call a column in a table using the name of the column using

Table.Column(table as table, column as text) as list

 

Kind regards,

John

@jbwtp Super thanks.

Table.Column(table as table, column as text) as list

 It worked perfectly.
