Add a column with a list of Values
Can you help me with power query to add a column with a list of values into a table:
Hello rmeng
you can add a list as a formula for your new column. Afterwards expand the list to new rows. Here an example of a list for your new column (you can also reference a column of another query here like MyOtherQuery[List]
{"Name", "etc"}here the complete code
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUXJUitWJVjICspzALGMgy1kpNhYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Name = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Name", type text}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each {"Name", "etc"}), #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom") in #"Expanded Custom"it transforms this
into this
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

rmeng Use a Merge query in Power Query Editor and I believe it looks like you want a Full Outer Join.
