How to display duplicate data

Thank you as always.

The attached image shows the number "8" in a red box, but how can I display the data in that row as 8 duplicates?

Please let me know.2.png

Hi @Tome_05 ,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

This is a common question, and it can be implemented in Power Query Editor.

You can refer to the method in this post.

powerquery - Power Query: Duplicate Rows Based on Value - Stack Overflow

Here's the code:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTJRitWJVnICsozALGcgy1gpNhYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ColA = _t, Stock = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ColA", type text}, {"Stock", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Col", each List.Repeat({[ColA]},[Stock])), //Adds a column with lists, repeating ColA based on Stock.
    #"Expanded Col" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Col") //Expands the lists into individual rows.
in
    #"Expanded Col"

Or you can download my attachment for more details.

Hi @Tome_05 

Please share expected output as well..

 

You query is not clear like you want 8888 or you want to have duplicate row like 2 rows of 8???

 

 

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Please look at the attached Excel image.
The idea is that if it displays 8 as in the attached image, then 8 pieces of data will be duplicated.
If the number is 4, I would like it to display 4 duplicate pieces of data.スクリーンショット 2025-01-27 165107.png
