Issue with same names.
Hi All,
I am working on utilization report but there are two employees with same name with different IDs and managers. This is creating issue collating both of their data in a table. Can you please help me with tagging Employee with A_1 and A_2. I tried with replace text but it is not working properly.
= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Renamed Columns",each [Employee], each if [Manager]= "B" then "A_1" else "A_2",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Employee"})
| Employee | ID | Manager |
| A | 1 | B |
| A | 2 | C |

let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTIEYielWB0IzwiInZViYwE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Employee = _t, ID = _t, Manager = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Employee", type text}, {"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Manager", type text}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Employee"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(_), Int64.Type}, {"a", each _, type table [Employee=nullable text, ID=nullable number, Manager=nullable text]}}), #"Expanded a" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "a", {"ID", "Manager"}, {"ID", "Manager"}), #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded a", "Custom", each if [Count] = 1 then [Employee] else if [Manager]="B" then [Employee]&"_1" else [Employee]&"_2"), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Conditional Column",{"Employee", "Count"}) in #"Removed Columns"The final show:
