Adding Duration to time in previous row within the same currently calculated column

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.

I think I saw this code syntax article on Chris's blog, I can't remember exactly.It's a habit for me to use list instead of record in the code I write for the List.Generate function, and add some notes as appropriate.Depending on the problem scenario, I also write my code using the record method
