PMT function exists in DAX but I need to do this calculation in Power Query.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
You can either do the math manually, or write a custom function. Here is a function that does it:
(PV, r, n) =>
let
Payment = (r * PV) / (1 - Number.Power(1 + r, -n))
in
Payment
Now just use it like normal.
I added a custom column and typed = fnPMT([Present Value], [Rate], [Term]) and it did the work.
I used the base formula from here @Anonymous - you may need to divide your rate by the periods in a year depending on how your data is laid out. In that case it would be fnPMT([Present Value], [Rate]/12, [Term])

What this helpful @Anonymous ? Any questions?

MCSA: BI Reporting@Anonymous You can find the formula for PMT here: P-Q Excel to DAX Translation - Microsoft Power BI Community Should be able to translate it to M since it is all base arithmatic.
