Spilt Column and create New Row

[Mooihoek]

I'm trying to spilt the U from this column and then have that value as a new Column called Test which then have that value and on the same row as the other values, e.g in green. .  Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Hi, @Mooihoek ;

You could modify it as follows:

1.custom column in power query

2.add conditional column

3.remove custom column and fill up custom1 coulmn

4.split column

5.remove empty rows

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtIBofw0Bdey1LwSpVidaCVDQxNLU0OgqJG5voGJvpGBEZgDpHQtdA3NwWpCIfrM3u+ZZWwc4KsUGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Case Number" = _t, #"Date Submitted" = _t, #"Date/Time" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Case Number", type text}, {"Date Submitted", type date}}),
    Custom1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.Select([Case Number],{"A".."z"})&"|"&[#"Date/Time"]),
    #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(Custom1, "Custom.1", each if Text.StartsWith([Custom], "|") then null else [Custom]),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Conditional Column",{"Custom"}),
    #"Filled Up" = Table.FillUp(#"Removed Columns",{"Custom.1"}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Filled Up", "Custom.1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("|", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Custom.1.1", "Custom.1.2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Date/Time", type text}, {"Custom.1.1", type text}, {"Custom.1.2", type text}}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type1", each [Date Submitted] <> null and [Date Submitted] <> "")
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

The final output is shown below:

Hi, @Mooihoek ; 

Hi, according to your description, there is another method you can try:

1.add custom column in power query

2.replace value (""->"null")

3.fill up

4.remove empty rows

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtJRUorViVYyNDSxNDUE8ozM9Q1M9I0MjAzB4qFgBbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Case Number" = _t, #"Date Submitted" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Case Number", type text}, {"Date Submitted", type date}}),
    Custom1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.Select([Case Number],{"A".."z"})),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(Custom1,"",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Custom"}),
    #"Filled Up" = Table.FillUp(#"Replaced Value",{"Custom"}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filled Up", each [Date Submitted] <> null and [Date Submitted] <> "")
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

Hi @Mooihoek ,

try this on a blank query

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtJRUorViVYyNDSxNDUE8ozM9Q1M9I0MjAzB4qFgBbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Case Number" = _t, #"Date Submitted" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Case Number", type text}, {"Date Submitted", type date}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each #"Changed Type"{2}[Case Number]),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each [Date Submitted] <> null and [Date Submitted] <> "")
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

Hope this helps

This is where I'm at, Created two new columns Type &Time however those values need to come up a row.

Because there's an error there on the top row it won't let me complete a Fill Up then filter the columns, any thoughts?

[Mooihoek]

thanks cant get it working using an existing data source. Can I send you the BI file for checking?

[mussaenda]

Hi @Mooihoek ,

I put the query on your file.

Thanks.

Hope this helps.

[Mooihoek]

thanks this is good, question I have through is can't that change be made to the main Aus query as I need all the other columns as well so that the data is complete
