Using the sample table below - is it possible to get the first non-zero value using Power Query?
I understand I can possibly do this via DAX but there are over 100k rows and it seems wasteful to load that much data into the report so I am taking the PQ route. I also understand, I can possibly use Pivot in this case however, the RN (Row Number) goes as far as RN=39. I'm thinking maybe convert the VAL column to a text column and then merge them into one but how do I make sure I am getting all pivoted VAL columns upon refresh?
| ID | VAL | RN | ||
| 1001404038 | 2393.64 | 1 | ||
| 1001459253 | 562.25 | 1 | ||
| 1001463837 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 1001463837 | 3252.24 | 2 | ||
| 1001478049 | 4606.74 | 1 | ||
| 1001478049 | 4601.74 | 2 | ||
| 1001478049 | 4601.74 | 3 | ||
| 1001478049 | 4601.74 | 4 |
Output should be like this:
| 1001404038 | 2393.64 | 1 | ||
| 1001459253 | 562.25 | 1 | ||
| 1001463837 | 3252.24 | 2 | ||
| 1001478049 | 4606.74 | 1 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
and you can useed this code
Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, {{"Count",
each Table.FirstN(
Table.SelectRows(_, each _[VAL] > 0),1)
}})
and you can useed this code
Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, {{"Count",
each Table.FirstN(
Table.SelectRows(_, each _[VAL] > 0),1)
}})
pls see my video

=Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, {{"Count",
each Table.SelectRows(
Table.AddIndexColumn( Table.SelectRows(_, each _[VAL] > 0),"Indx",1,1), each _[Indx]=1)
}})
it's not very clear what you want
explain again and provide an example of the result you want to get
THanks, I've edited the post to show the requested output.
