Create multiple custom columns in power query in single step

[varutvu]

Hi,

I have a data set of 20 fields, where I need to create another 10 columns with formla like below

Field 21 = Field 5 * Field 6

Field 22 = Field 5 * Field 7

FIeld 23 = Field 5 * Field 8

...

Is there a quick way to do this in Power Query without manually adding 10 steps?

Thank you for your help!

Hi , @varutvu 

Each step of your operation in the "Transform Data" can be seen as writing an m_query statement in "Advanced Editor".

So you can also directly implement what you want in code in addition to using interface button “Custom Column”.

As shown in the screenshoot  below, you only need to  copy and modify a few lines of code again.

 Then you will  get the desired result as below:

@varutvu , You can add column-like, faster way? Maybe just add to source script

Field 21 = [Field 5] * [Field 6]

@varutvu - Huh, that's a good one. I'm not aware of a way but if anyone knows of something fancy, it's @ImkeF
