dynamic variable to determine the distribution of data

Hi,

 

I would like to divide the lines in my data by numerical value.

I must save the value dynamically because the value changes every time rows are updated,

and then perform the partition.

 

Here is a small example:

 

Row number

Project

The value I want

001

Aaa

A

002

Bbb

A

003

Ccc

B

004

Ddd

B

005

Eee

B

 

When the project value is "Ccc" we would like to get the line number, say in this case “003”.

All rows above (1-2) will have a value of A And all the rows below (3-5) it will have a value of B.

 

How can I do this?

 

Thanks,

Inbal

@inbal,

You can create the following columns in your table. Please change the data type of Index column to whole number.

Index = Table[Row number]
number of Ccc = CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table2[Index],1),FILTER(Table2,Table2[Project]="Ccc"))
The value I want = IF(Table2[Index]<Table2[number of Ccc],"A","B")
