need multiple group by in power query
Hi there,
I have dataset with following columns:
Account
Date
Amount
I want to group by data in power query
Group by Date, Account, Sum of Amount
Group by Date, Sum of Amount
Need this in Power Query
Thanks,
P
Ah, now I understand.
First group by at the lowest level, next group by the higher level, adding aggregation "all rows":
This is the generated code, in which Value.Type(#"Grouped Rows") in step #"Grouped Rows1" is a manual replacement of the generated type table. I consider it a bug (or a mistake by Microsoft) that the nested tables with "All Rows" get type table instead of the type of the original table. As explained in this video (it's a longer video, the link jumps to the relevant fragment).
let Source = Table1, #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"account", "date"}, {{"sum of amount", each List.Sum([amount]), type number}}), #"Grouped Rows1" = Table.Group(#"Grouped Rows", {"date"}, {{"total amount", each List.Sum([sum of amount]), type number}, {"AllRows", each _, Value.Type(#"Grouped Rows")}}), #"Expanded AllRows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows1", "AllRows", {"account", "sum of amount"}, {"account", "sum of amount"}), #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Expanded AllRows",{{"account", Order.Ascending}, {"date", Order.Ascending}}), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Sorted Rows",{"account", "date", "sum of amount", "total amount"}) in #"Reordered Columns"

Looks to me like 2 straightforward group by's, so what's the issue?
This is the one for Date and Account:
