Adding rows dynamically to a table
- Anonymous5 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
According to my understand, you want to dynamically add rows based on the original table, right?
I did it in two ways. And here is my pbix file.
1.Use DAX
UnionedTable = VAR _allNames = ALLSELECTED ( Table1[Name] ) VAR _newTable = ADDCOLUMNS ( _allNames, "New", "All" ) RETURN UNION ( Table1, _newTable )2.Follow these steps in Query Editor:
Add a custom column(set value as “All”) -->Select the Name column ,use “unpivot other Columns”-->Delete the "Attribute" column ,then the table will be transformed as what you want :
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSAeJYnWglJyDLCcxyBrKcwSwXIMsFzHIFslyVYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Category = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Category", type text}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "newColumn", each "All"), #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Added Custom", {"Name"}, "Attribute", "Value"), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Attribute"}) in #"Removed Columns"Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please upload some insensitive data samples and expected output.

lbendlin hoping this will be quick,
I seem to be having issues with the following rows:
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each "All"),
#"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Added Custom", {"Name"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{"Name", "Value"})
"I named the custom column "Custom", but what is the "Name' column for? This is throwing an error and if I change it to "Custom" it still throws an error.
Create a blank query, open it in Advanced editor, and replace the entire code with what I posted.
