How to retrieve the data of a higher occurrence

Hi, 

 

MarcoCast_0-1673260909174.png

 

I have Column A and Column B with two references.

Columns A and B talk about the same thing.


Column A is the current reference.
Column B is the previous reference of column A.

Column C gives the date of reference A.


I am looking to have a column D which gives the date of the reference B based on column C.

 

An example of what I have in mind:

Hi , @MarcoCast 

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)We can click "Custom Column" and enter this:

(x)=> if List.IsEmpty( Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",(y)=> y[A]=x[B])[C] ) then null else
Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",(y)=> y[A]=x[B])[C]{0}

(2)Then we can meet your need:

Second, you need to delete the "each" if it exist !

Hi @v-yueyunzh-msft ,

 

Thanks for you time and for help, It work perfectly ! 

I don't clearly understand the command but i will delve deeper into the subject.

If anyone passes by looking for similar help, maybe we can add that in the command, #"Changed Type" refers to the previous query and must be changed depending on our processing.

 

(x)=> if List.IsEmpty( Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",(y)=> y[A]=x[B])[C] ) then null else
Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",(y)=> y[A]=x[B])[C]{0}

 

Best Regards,

Hi , @MarcoCast 

Yes , the #"Changed Type" refers to the previous query . You can use other step who has the [A],[B],[C] columns also ,and you can also create a fixed name to solve this problem.

 

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
