[Power Query] Calculate Average For columns of the same Year

Hello, everyone!

 

I have the following table structure.

 

Site NameAccount Number12/1/201811/1/201810/1/20189/1/20188/1/20187/1/20186/1/20185/1/20184/1/20183/1/20182/1/20181/1/201812/1/201711/1/201710/1/20179/1/20178/1/2017
Name 125050    5050         
Name 2123391939193332 5050 39193332     5050 
Name 3123    391939193332       39193919

 

3332

 

What I wanto to do is create a new column with the average for the values that are in columns with same Year (Red values on table above that belong to the same line, for example). 

I´ve tried this.

 

         1 - Create a function that returns the columns with , for example, 2018 as year

(Table)=>

let
    Custom1 = Record.ToTable(Table{0}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Custom1,{"Value"}),
    #"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Removed Columns",2),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Top Rows", "Ano", each Text.End([Name],4)),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each ([Ano] = "2018")),
    #"Removed Columns2" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Ano"}),
    Custom2 = Table.ToList(#"Removed Columns2")
in
    Custom2

 

           2 - Tried to create the new column using the list names above as reference.

            

= Table.AddColumn(Table, "Average", each List.Average(ListarAno2018(Table)), Currency.Type)

 

I think that I´m close to get it, but the code on step 2 doesn´t accept the list as reference.

 

Thank you all so much for any help!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I have a little confused about your requirement.

 

If it is convenient, could you share your desired output based on your sample data so that we can understand your scenario better.

Hello, @v-piga-msft!

 

Here´s the output that I´m looking for..(Image below)

 

One more thing, the new query must calculate the average regardless the number of columns with a specific year date. Therefore, it must calculate even if the number of columns with "2018" or "2017" be different of 2 as the example illustrates.

 

Thank you!
