We can add a custom column using following formula and expand it to meet your requirement:
let url="https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from="&[Currency]&"&date="&Date.ToText([Date],"YYYY-MM-DD"), CurrencyTable = Web.Page(Web.Contents(url)){0}[Data], SelectTable = Table.SelectColumns(CurrencyTable,{"Currency code ▲▼","Units per "&[Currency]}), Ta = Table.RenameColumns(SelectTable,{{"Currency code ▲▼","To Currency Code"},{"Units per "&[Currency],"Currency Number"}}) in TaAll the Query is here:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Tc0xCsAgDAXQu2QWYjQWHdtaXEvFSbz/NRrTFgrhD//xSe9AYICslWw1SzpLCYmQAgzTwWk1eV9fjpjQWVUvDauW7fzGjP5RliaqHu36tuTklMP8vKjXkv/OMMYN", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Counter = _t, Amount = _t, Currency = _t, Date = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Counter", Int64.Type}, {"Amount", Int64.Type}, {"Currency", type text}, {"Date", type date}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "CurrencyHistory", each let url="https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=" & [Currency]&"&date="&Date.ToText([Date],"YYYY-MM-DD"), CurrencyTable = Web.Page(Web.Contents(url)){0}[Data], SelectTable = Table.SelectColumns(CurrencyTable,{"Currency code ▲▼","Units per "&[Currency]}), Ta = Table.RenameColumns(SelectTable,{{"Currency code ▲▼","To Currency Code"},{"Units per "&[Currency],"Currency Number"}}) in Ta), #"Expanded CurrencyHistory" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "CurrencyHistory", {"To Currency Code", "Currency Number"}, {"CurrencyHistory.To Currency Code", "CurrencyHistory.Currency Number"}) in #"Expanded CurrencyHistory"
If it doesn't meet your requirement, Please show the exact expected result based on the Tables that you have shared.
