hello,
I'm new to coding in Power Query.
I tried adding the last line #"Padded Values" to the existing code but I am getting the Token Comma expected error.
Can someone please explain why?
Thank you
let
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(XLS), null, true),
Areas_Sheet = Source{[Item="Areas",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Areas_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"AreaScheme", type text}, {"Level", type text}, {"Number", type text}, {"Name", type text}, {"Area", type number}, {"CTA.ZoneCode", type text}}),
#"Inserted Last Characters" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Last Characters", each Text.End([Level], 2), type text),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Inserted Last Characters",{{"Last Characters", "LevelPrefix"}})
#"Padded Values" = Text.PadStart(#"Padded Values",[Level Prefix],5,"0")
in
#"Padded Values"
Solved! Go to Solution.
All steps except the last need a comma after them. Add a comma at the end of your #"Renamed Columns" step.

Pat

let bernDistAna = (hitNum) => {
let p = sum(hitNum)/count(hitNum);
return hitNum * (1 - p);
};
Your last step is referencing itself (so that variable doesn't exist yet). Change it to reference your previous step.
#"Padded Values" = Text.PadStart(#"Renamed Columns",[Level Prefix],5,"0")

Thank you @mahoneypat
But now I am getting the following error.
Expression.Error: The name 'Padded Values' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly.
All steps except the last need a comma after them. Add a comma at the end of your #"Renamed Columns" step.
