Adding a column

Hi, I'm having a brain slip here.

 

I need to add a new column to the Transform Data page and make it average the 4 areas. How do I do this? I'm not looking to get this as a measure but to build it in as a column, please.

 

DateNorthSouthEastWestAverage
01/01/202434353.75
01/02/0202467856.5
01/03/202484766.25


Thanks

Hello @RichOB,

 

There are two option you can create as column. Which are transform side(Power Query) and New Column(front side, DAX). But you would like to solve the problem in the Power Query side. So, in power query side "Add Column --> Custom Column" and you can write a code such as ([North]+[South]+[East]+[West]) / 4
