DAX Code to Power Query

Is there a way to add a cloumn to a table in Power Query that contains the aggregate of a partition of another column?

 

For example I have:

GroupValueColor
A1Red
A2Orange
A3Yellow
A4Green
A5Blue
B6Purple
B7Red
B8Orange
B9Yellow
B10Green

 

I need the max Value per Group (without losing the granularity of Color):

GroupValueColorMaxGroupValue
A1Red5
A2Orange5
A3Yellow5
A4Green5
A5Blue5
B6Purple10
B7Red10
B8Orange10
B9Yellow10
B10Green10

 

In DAX, I can add a column and use:

MaxGroupValue = 
CALCULATE ( 
    MAX ( Table[Value] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( Table, Table[Group] )
)

If there a way to do it in Power Query in one add-a-column step? I do not want to do a Group By (lose the Color granularity) and then have to merge back to the original table due to performance concerns.

 

Thank you!

As a custom column try this

=let mygroup=[Group] in
List. Max(
Table. SelectRows(source, each [Group] =mygroup) [Value])
