Search function for specific value
I am looking for an M code for a calculated column.
The aim is to search for the value "Yes" in the Type column,
where the ID must be the same. If so, the value "Yes" must be displayed, otherwise a null value.
On the picture you see the two columns I have.
And the orange column is the calculated column I'm looking for.
See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wci9KTc1T0lGKTC1WitVB8BOTU9JSwCJBqSlAvl8+EqeiOAWi2ikntRTINzQyBnPDMzJLUpEMg/GhmmFcpdhYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Type = _t]), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"ID"}, {{"All", each _, type table [ID=nullable text, Type=nullable text]}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Measure", each if List.Contains([All][Type],"Yes") then "Yes" else null), #"Expanded All" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "All", {"Type"}, {"Type"}) in #"Expanded All"

Your example was already successful. Now I'm going to apply it to my actual data table.
