Is there a way to add a dynamic custom column that returns the contents of a cell for the entire column? I need the conents of 'First Column' row 1 to become an entire row of duplicates without having to manually type it in as a custom column as I have done in the pictures below.
Solved! Go to Solution.
This should do the trick.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(
Json.Document(
Binary.Decompress(
Binary.FromText(
"i45WCkotSE0sSU1RCEvMKU1VitWJVnLMyy/JSC1CEknML07NK4Ewi/MzUkvywOz81KK8gtIUKLs4I6+ktAjMKU0pSs0H64gFAA==",
BinaryEncoding.Base64
),
Compression.Deflate
)
),
let
_t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true])
in
type table [Column1 = _t]
),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Source{0}[Column1])
in
#"Added Custom"
