Hello Anonymous
you can use List.Generate to achive this. Here the example with your data provided
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSAWNLKwMDpVidaCUjIMcIWcAYyDFGFjABckzgArEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Item No." = _t, Duration = _t, #"Start time" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Item No.", Int64.Type}, {"Duration", Int64.Type}, {"Start time", type time}}), #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"Item No.", Order.Ascending}}), CreateStartEnd = List.Generate ( ()=> [Counter = 0, Start= #"Sorted Rows"[Start time]{0}, End= #"Sorted Rows"[Start time]{0} + #duration(0,#"Sorted Rows"[Duration]{0},0,0)], each [Counter]<= Table.RowCount(#"Sorted Rows")-1, each [ Counter = [Counter]+1, Start = [End], End= [End]+ #duration(0,#"Sorted Rows"[Duration]{[Counter]+1},0,0) ], each {[Start], [End]} ), ToRows = Table.FromRows(CreateStartEnd, {"Start", "End"}), Combine = Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(#"Sorted Rows")&Table.ToColumns(ToRows),Table.ColumnNames(#"Sorted Rows")&Table.ColumnNames(ToRows)) in CombineCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
