Hello, I'm looking for a way to extract a specific entry from a list. I have created the two columns below in the Query Editor. The "Sorted Cycle Time" column contains a list of values in each row. I would like to extract the corresponding value in the "20 Percentile Item" column. Said differently, in the first row I would like to extract the 1170th value from the corresponding list in the "Sorted Cycle Time" row. Is there a simple way to do this in another column?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@pbakaric,
Add a custom column in Query Editor of Power BI Desktop, then extract the custom column value.
=List.Range([Sort Cycle Time],[20 Percentile Item]-1,1)
Regards,
Lydia

Awesome! That worked, thank you so much.
I'm surprised that returned the value and not a count of 1. The documentation on list range doesn't make it seem like it would return a value. Thanks again!
