How to create tables from multiple parameters?

Hi all,

 

I would like a table with two columns (i.e. Grind, Angle) using the Parameters below

 

StartGrind = 0

EndGrind = 200

GrindIncrement = 1

StartAngle = 0

EndAngle = 360

AngleIncrement = 10

 

and the table would look like this below...

 

Grind          Angle

0                 0

0                 10

0                 20

...

0                 360

1                 0

1                 10

1                 20

...

1                 360

2                 0

2                 10

...

200             360

 

 

It would be greatly appreciate if anyone can help!

 

Thanks

    The answer I was suggesting was a DAX based solution, so you would do it in Power BI Desktop (not the query editor),

     

    Just click the highlighted "New Table" button on the modelling tab and paste in that code.

    Hi al3xw3il

     

    Please try the following as a new calculated table :

     

    New Table = CROSSJOIN(
        SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0,200, 1),"Grind",[Value]) ,
        SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0,360,10),"Angle",[Value])
        )

      Hi Phil,

       

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      But do you mean this? Apologies, I am not very good with Power BI...

       

      let
      New Table = CROSSJOIN(
      SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0,200, 1),"Grind",[Value]) ,
      SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0,360,10),"Angle",[Value])
      )
      in
      New Table
