Hi 🙂
I need to create a table based on two columns on other table.
Example:
I have an activity with the duration in days
Activity | duration days |
1 | 2 |
2 | 5 |
3 | 1 |
I want to expand the days to repeat the activities
Activity | Day |
1 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
2 | 3 |
2 | 4 |
2 | 5 |
2 | 6 |
2 | 7 |
3 | 8 |
Solved! Go to Solution.

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[ Name = "Table1" ]}[Content],
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes (
Source,
{ { "Activity Duration", Int64.Type }, { "Days", Int64.Type } }
),
RepeatDuration = Table.AddColumn (
ChangedType,
"Custom",
each Table.FromColumns (
{ List.Repeat ( { [Activity Duration] }, [Days] ) },
type table [ ActivityDuraton = Int64.Type ]
),
type table [ ActivityDuraton = Int64.Type ]
),
RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns ( RepeatDuration, { "Activity Duration", "Days" } ),
ExpandedCustom = Table.ExpandTableColumn (
RemovedColumns,
"Custom",
{ "ActivityDuraton" },
{ "ActivityDuraton" }
),
AddedIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn ( ExpandedCustom, "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type )
in
AddedIndex
Thank you AntrikshSharma!
I needed to do some small adjustments, and here we go! It works! 😄
