Details:Indicator

 

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\abc\Desktop\Table.xlsx"), null, true),
    Table_Sheet = Source{[Item="Table",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Table_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Receipt No", type number}, {"Indicator", type text}, {"Count", Int64.Type}, {"Rate", Int64.Type}, {"Region ID", Int64.Type}}),
 key = Table.AddColumn(Source, "key", each Text.BeforeDelimiter(Text.From([Receipt No], "ru-RU"), "."), type text),
    transform = Table.TransformColumns(key, {"Indicator", each Record.FieldOrDefault([N = -1, Y = 1], _, _)}),
    group = Table.Group(transform, {"key"}, {"a", each List.Sum(List.Combine({[Indicator],[Count],[Rate],[#"Region ID"]})), type number}),
    list = Table.SelectRows(group, each [a] = 0)[key],
    filter = Table.SelectRows(key, each not List.Contains(list, [key])),

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please check the [Indicator] column in your excel file, if there is no column called "Indicator", it may occur your problem, or you could upload your excel file to have a test if possible.


 

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\abc\Desktop\Table.xlsx"), null, true),
    Table_Sheet = Source{[Item="Table",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Table_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Receipt No", type number}, {"Indicator", type text}, {"Count", Int64.Type}, {"Rate", Int64.Type}, {"Region ID", Int64.Type}}),
 key = Table.AddColumn(Source, "key", each Text.BeforeDelimiter(Text.From([Receipt No], "ru-RU"), "."), type text),
    transform = Table.TransformColumns(key, {"Indicator", each Record.FieldOrDefault([N = -1, Y = 1], _, _)}),
    group = Table.Group(transform, {"key"}, {"a", each List.Sum(List.Combine({[Indicator],[Count],[Rate],[#"Region ID"]})), type number}),
    list = Table.SelectRows(group, each [a] = 0)[key],
    filter = Table.SelectRows(key, each not List.Contains(list, [key])),
    final = Table.RemoveColumns(filter,{"key"})
in
    final

Hi @Anonymous,

 

This is refering to your column Indicator, on the query editor try going step by step and checking where it breaks, then check what happen between the two steps.

 

Without having the data appears that the column Indicator does not exist on your table, but again don't have aniway to confirm.
