Split two kinds of data in one colums into two columns

[kruizing]

Hi!

I have two types of data from my electricity meter in one column. You can find an example of what the table looks like in the first table below. I would like to have the data of the meter split into two columns, like in the second table.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Kinds regards!

Date/Time	Meter 1_2
26-10-2020 01:00	200
26-10-2020 02:00	215
26-10-2020 03:00	220
26-10-2020 04:00	50
26-10-2020 05:00	55
26-10-2020 06:00	225
26-10-2020 07:00	60
26-10-2020 08:00	230
26-10-2020 09:00	65

Date/Time	Meter 1	Meter 2
26-10-2020 01:00	200	50
26-10-2020 02:00	215	50
26-10-2020 03:00	220	50
26-10-2020 04:00	220	50
26-10-2020 05:00	220	55
26-10-2020 06:00	225	55
26-10-2020 07:00	225	60
26-10-2020 08:00	230	60
26-10-2020 09:00	230	65

Hello @kruizing 

what is the logic of the split?

How do you get at the data of 01:00 from this

to this?

the only logic I found is this... but I don't know if suits

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Zcy7CcAwDIThVYJqG6RzpDxWMd5/DRusFOGaaz7u710Q1bRCoYfaqypFsHaUPyHJnKglgV/nJmfxFM7Fl2O6NgXn7jw1pidPKzcm", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Date/Time" = _t, #"Meter 1_2" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date/Time", type datetime}, {"Meter 1_2", Int64.Type}}),
    TransfromMeter = Table.TransformColumns
    (
        #"Changed Type",
        {
            {
                "Meter 1_2",
                each if _>100 then Text.From(_)&",0" else "0,"&Text.From(_)
            }
        }
    ),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(TransfromMeter, "Meter 1_2", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Meter 1_2.1", "Meter 1_2.2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Meter 1_2.1", Int64.Type}, {"Meter 1_2.2", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type1",0,null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Meter 1_2.1", "Meter 1_2.2"}),
    #"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Replaced Value",{"Meter 1_2.1"}),
    #"Filled Up" = Table.FillUp(#"Filled Down",{"Meter 1_2.2"})
in
   #"Filled Up"

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
