Use parameter value as custom column

[Jeffery24]

Hi,

How would I pass a parameter as just a number in an added column.

For example if parameter is set at 0.85

How would I add the value of the parameter as column value?

= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Vendor KPI", each 0.85)

Thanks for your help.

= Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Vendor KPI", each #"Vendor KPI")

Thanks for providing the answer! I've been looking for a while but can't quite find a good explanation what the hashtag (#) does in M language. Is it specifically for calling a parameter?

@Mr_Glister, Sorry for late reply. Am no expert but I think it is using the # to call a variable with a space in the name.

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply. I tried a similar format earlier but keep getting a "Token Comma Expected" error.Is it expecting "" around the Vendor KPI parameter or brackets because it has a space in the name? When i tried it just listed it as a string result not the value. Thanks
