Hey guys,
I've got a column of floating-point values, sorted in descending order, called "Score". I'm trying to add a new column called "Is Top 10?" where the value for the top 10 largest values in the "Score" column would be "Y" and all others would be "N". Could someone help me as to which M functions to use here?
Sample Data:
Score |
0.9899 |
0.9889 |
0.9056 |
0.8463 |
0.8377 |
0.693 |
0.6666 |
0.5778 |
0.5602 |
0.489 |
0.3918 |
0.3034 |
0.1654 |
0.1012 |
0.0771 |
0.0506 |
0.0418 |
0.0053 |
0.0032 |
Desired result:
Score | Is Top 10? |
0.9899 | Y |
0.9889 | Y |
0.9056 | Y |
0.8463 | Y |
0.8377 | Y |
0.693 | Y |
0.6666 | Y |
0.5778 | Y |
0.5602 | Y |
0.489 | Y |
0.3918 | N |
0.3034 | N |
0.1654 | N |
0.1012 | N |
0.0771 | N |
0.0506 | N |
0.0418 | N |
0.0053 | N |
0.0032 | N |
Thank you!

In a custom column, put following
= if List.Contains(List.FirstN(List.Sort(List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Score]),Order.Descending),10),[Score]) then "Y" else "N"
See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test (later on when you use the query on your dataset, you will have to change the source appropriately. If you have columns other than these, then delete Changed type step and do a Changed type for complete table from UI again)
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Pc3LCcBACATQXvYcwhj/tSzpv40sRPX0UGbce+HOyFzv9TOGUCuGGDfZvWjZSztTVPdoGp6iTCsn9Z3BUiTTIahTcKemoj9ApgFQHvKJvR8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Score = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Score", type number}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Is Top 10?", each if List.Contains(List.FirstN(List.Sort(List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Score]),Order.Descending),10),[Score]) then "Y" else "N", type text)
in
#"Added Custom"
Hi @Anonymous ,
Try this:
if
List.Contains(
List.FirstN(
List.Sort(chgTypes[Score], Order.Descending),
10
),
[Score]
)
then "Y" else "N"
Full query:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Pc3LCcBACATQXvYcwhj/tSzpv40sRPX0UGbce+HOyFzv9TOGUCuGGDfZvWjZSztTVPdoGp6iTCsn9Z3BUiTTIahTcKemoj9ApgFQHvKJvR8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Score = _t]),
chgTypes = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Score", type number}}),
addIsTop10 = Table.AddColumn(chgTypes, "isTop10", each if
List.Contains(
List.FirstN(
List.Sort(chgTypes[Score], Order.Descending),
10
),
[Score]
)
then "Y" else "N")
in
addIsTop10
Output:
