Calculation for every row

Hi all,

 

I had a question regarding making a calculation that has to be performed on every record in a column.

My data looks like this

X
7
29
7
82
118

Now what I want is for every row to be substracted by 5. With outcome like:

X
2
24
2
77
113

Is it best to do this through a calculated column ?

 

Thanks in advance,

L.Meijdam

  • It depends.

     

    If you want to keep the original values, you can either add a custom column in Power Query or a calculated column in DAX.

     

    If you want to transform the values, you can use Power Query: Edit Queries - Transform - Standard - Subtract - 5.

      Hi MarcelBeug,

       

      Since I prefered a DAX solution here I created a calculated column to achieve it. Thanks for sharing your insights with me.
