Power Query / M create new column, with value from specific row and field
Hi all,
I am trying to import some data from a csv file into PowerBi.
I need a specific value from a row and column, let's say first row/column5.
Then i need to create a new column and need to have the selected value in the previous step in the new column in each row.
How am i going to accomplishthat in Power Query (Not DAX).
Thanks!
Hi, Joe_100
#"Added Custom" receive the a table returned by the last step. [Column5]{0} means first row/column5. Here is my test.
Table:
You may create a Custom Column as follows.
#"Changed Type" is the last step which returns a table result. [Score]{0} is the value of the first row/Score.

Got it solved by now 🙂
Not familiar with the Power Query/ M language, so i dont totally understand how it behaves.
I added a custom column and first used the following formula:
[Column5]{0}
That didn't worked.
This works, mentioning the previous step (not sure why though?):
#"Added Custom" [Column5]{0}
