Create new table and insert values automatically based on condition
Hi all, not sure if this is can be done in Power BI. Hope someone can give me some suggestions:
I have a table below where the Current_Debt and Old_Debt are changed time to time, this table was refreshed every monday in my powerBI desktop.
| Account_number | Current_Debt | Old_debt |
| 1001 | 0 | 12 |
| 1002 | 28.34 | 234 |
| 1003 | 296.7 | 0 |
| 1004 | 654 | 6 |
| 1005 | 0 | 8 |
| 1006 | 77 | 9 |
| 1007 | 0 | 0 |
Also, I want to create a table called weekly_change, so when the table above refreshes, it will automatilcly sum the current_debt where current_debt is not 0 and also count of account number, and sum of Old_debt, then insert the table weekly_change, the date value would be the time when we refresh the table.
Weekly_change
| Date | Account_number | Current_debt_sum | Old_debt_sum |
| 30/04/2021 | 3 | 979.04 | 246 |
| 3/05/2021 | |||
Would it be possible to do that in power query?
Thanks so much

Will the weekly data be saved in the table or will the data in the table be directly updated when a new date is reached? In addition, is there any date column to indicate which date the data belongs to? What is the calculation logic of the table you want to get in the end? Is it a summary value(0+28.34+296.7+654+...)?
Best Regards
