adding end date

Hello, I have a table with date, item, warehouse and quantity: date item warehouse quantity 6.10.2023 A 203 8 8.11.2023 A 203 7 3.6.2023 B 205 5 7.11.2023 B 205 8 ...

    Hi evadung ,

     

    How about this:

     

     

    I did something similar that you suggested: Group By Item with MAX on date and then joined that outcome with the original table. Rest was just some cleansing.

     

    Here the code in Power Query M that you can paste into the advanced editor (if you do not know, how to exactly do this, please check out this quick walkthrough)

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtMzNNAzMjAyVtJRcgRiIwMQy0IpVidayULP0BBTzhwsZ6xnBpNyAkuZAklTsJQ5kjaEHNDIWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [date = _t, item = _t, warehouse = _t, quantity = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"date", type date}, {"item", type text}, {"warehouse", Int64.Type}, {"quantity", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"item"}, {{"MaxDate", each List.Max([date]), type nullable date}}),
        #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"item"}, #"Grouped Rows", {"item"}, "Grouped Rows", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
        #"Expanded Grouped Rows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Grouped Rows", {"MaxDate"}, {"Grouped Rows.MaxDate"}),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Grouped Rows", "end date", each if [date] = [Grouped Rows.MaxDate] then null else [Grouped Rows.MaxDate]),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Grouped Rows.MaxDate"})
    in
        #"Removed Columns"

     

    [Edit]: You might need to add Warehouse to the GROUP BY as well...

    Let me know if this solves your query 🙂
