I created a function that I wanted to use to do a calculation when a custom column is being created.
I defined the function something like...
(Source as record, CheckVal as number) =>
When I try to use the function I am passing in the underscore but the function gives an error of "We cannot convert the value null to type Record" which suggests that _ is null.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong or an example of how to make this work?
Many thanks,
Trevor
Where do you pass that "_"? For example, is it in Table.SelectRows(table, each func(_, checkVal)) ? Can you put the whole M code here?
Hi Trevb,
What's do you mean by "create a function"? So far as I know, there is no an place where we can create a function. So in your scenario, please elaborate your issue, if possible provide us some screenshots, so that we can make further analysis.
