customize column to choose from duplicated rows in power Query

Hi,

I have a table like below column A [Planning Code] have some of family codes and this family codes are sometimes shared between different codes in column[Material Code] now I want to package only the quantity in coumn[Required from planning Code] from each [Material Code]or if it iw not available I want to package the available quantity , the problem is there is duplicate values in column [Planning Code] , I want to only to choose the code or some of codes which complete the required quantity of Planning Code ?

Regards

Hi @osama_ayoub,

 

As you merged the tables PBI allocated a set of records for each matching line in the source table (this is why it is important/more convenient to merge Requests with Avail rather then vise versa):

jbwtp_0-1663716665292.png

if you click on the cell (not on the Table itself) in the Available column you will see how the available quantities are assigned to the requested ones.

 

Then we add a column that is actually a set of the available quantities with how many of them we can allocate to fullfill the request. The majic happens in this fuction:

 f = (t as table, req as number)=> 
        let 
            avail = Number.From(t{0}[Available in Material Code]),
            res = if avail > req or Table.RowCount(t) = 1 then {Record.AddField(t{0}, "take", List.Min({req, avail}))} else {Record.AddField(t{0}, "take", avail)} & @f(Table.Skip(t), req - avail)
        in res

It gets two parameters:

  • t - a table of quanties available for this product,
  • req - required quantity

In the funciton:

  1. avail takes the first row of the table of available materials passed to the funciton
  2. then we check if the available quantity on this row is sufficient to fulfill the required quantity passed to the function:
    1. If this is sufficient, it adds a field (which later converted to ta column in the output table) and sets its value = req
    2. If there is only one row left in the column, there is no point going any further and we just allocate the lesser of req and avail , i.e. trying to fullfill the request as much as possible
    3. Otherwise, we take as much as we can on this "supply" row and call the function again, this time passing all but the first line in the "supply" table (cause this is already been "taken") and the portion of "required" amount (reduced by the volumes fullfuilled by this "supply" row.

 

This may be a bit unclear, but it hopefully it can make sense if you "walk the steps" in the function, bearing in mind that it recursively calls itself with demonishing number of lines and required quantities until either "supply" rows will be depleted or the entire required amount supplied. 

 

Kind regards,

John

hi,

for the planning code Main00357 the required quantity is 100 and there are 2 rows under the same planning code so we go to the first row and check the available if it is equal or greater than the required quantity we take the required quantity from first row and skip the second row but if the quantity in the second row is less than the required we take all the quantity in the first row and go to the second row and take it untill we complete our required quantity.

I hope I could explain it well 

Regards

Again:

  1. Need data
  2. Need example of your desired output. You know the old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I have attached excel file, what I want is a new column to determine how much should I take from [available in Material code] to get the [required from planning code]

there are duplicated values in column [required from planning code] so I want only one value from this duplicated value.

thanks for trying to help me

Hi,

The requiered quantity from Main00357 is 100, So there are 2 material Code under the same planning Code: the first row has 600 so this is enough and we don't need to take any quantity from the second row which has the same planning code Main00357.

another example:

the planning code Main0010 available in 5 different Material Code or 5 different rows and all we want from these 5 rows are 150 so we go for the the first row and check the availble balance is it 150 or more we take 150 from it and we will not take any other rows but if the balance in less than 150 we took the availble quantity and move to the next row and so on until we complete our 150 unit.

thank you for your support

Regards

Hi @osama_ayoub,

 

This is possible to wrinte a code that does what you need, but I guess looking a bit wider you are joining the available and planned tables on the Planning Code. Is this right? In this case assuming that you have two original tables, it would look like this:

let
    Plan = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bY+7DcAgDER3cU3hDwYyRCZAKVKmyf5lMBIShrRPz3fnWuG8nxdRNEMAQoQrDMaGok6E0CSdJeLtTrQhJ+XYCE+gUFdcUJL1jLIlEblwKr3Q9RkSh5L+zDrWAumd7LRiP7Kfv1tj6/UB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Planning Code" = _t, #"Total Quantity Requiered from Planning Code" = _t]),
    Avail = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("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", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Planning Code" = _t, #"Material Code" = _t, #"Material Description" = _t, #"Available in Material Code" = _t]),
    f = (t as table, req as number)=> 
        let 
            avail = Number.From(t{0}[Available in Material Code]),
            res = if avail > req or Table.RowCount(t) = 1 then {Record.AddField(t{0}, "take", List.Min({req, avail}))} else {Record.AddField(t{0}, "take", avail)} & @f(Table.Skip(t), req - avail)
        in res,
    #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(Plan, {"Planning Code"}, Avail, {"Planning Code"}, "Available", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Custom", each Table.FromRecords(f([Available], Number.From([Total Quantity Requiered from Planning Code])))),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.Combine(#"Added Custom"[Custom])
in
    #"Removed Columns"

 

Unless the number of material codes per planning code is not overwhelming (otherwise the recurrent function will start be a bottleneck), this should work Ok.

 

Kind regards,

John

you are right I merged two tables (required and availble) based on planning code , could you tell me what are the steps you did to understand your solution?

Thank you so much for your support.

@osama_ayoub can you give me an example of what you want? I am having trouble understanding your requirements based on the text. Does the material column come into play?

 

For example, in Main0057, does this qualify or not, because the 02* material has enough quantity, but the LR* item does not. So is the entier planning code Main057 a fail or pass?

 

Also, can you provide actual data to work with? I cannot work with an image and I'm not typing all of that in. Instructions to paste data in a table format are below. An image of a desired result you have mocked up in Excel is fine and can be very helpful. Thanks!
