BMI Compute

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I need to add a custom column to calculate the Body Mass Index. I have two columns in the first one I have the code, where it stores the different vital measurements. This column, includes the body height and body weight. In the other column stores the values from different vital signs, including body height and body weight. The formula for the BMI is body weight/ body height square.
I realize that I have to split the values to other columns named height and weight, but my problem is, that in the same column I have not find a way to store in the same row the measurements for weight and height, since this measurements are in disctinct rows.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Miguel.

Hi, 

i think it is possible.

please provide soma sample data and, if possible, the result you want to obtain

Hi serpiva64,

Here is a data sample. And the custom column with the values (BMI).

Thank you in advance.

Miguel.

Hi, 

to obtain this:

you need to apply these steps (from Reordered Columns to the end, previous steps were needed to insert your sample data)

You need to reorder Code_Text before User

then Pivot column

Change type to numeric if they aren't

and finally Add BMI column

If you prefer this table you have to select User and unpivot other columns

This is what you get in Advanced editor:

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUUoGYgsDpVgdCDcDiA11zE3gAuUIeSOocnMLOBei3MIULgBWDuEaw0w3h3Ohyg3gAiDllkBuLAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [User = _t, Code_Text = _t, Value = _t]),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "usr", each "usr"),
#"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom1", {{"User", type text}}, "it-IT"),{"usr", "User"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter("", QuoteStyle.None),"User"),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Merged Columns","c","cardiac_freq",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Code_Text"}),
#"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value","h","height",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Code_Text"}),
#"Replaced Value2" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value1","w","weight",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Code_Text"}),
#"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Replaced Value2",{"Code_Text", "User", "Value"}),
#"Pivoted Column1" = Table.Pivot(#"Reordered Columns", List.Distinct(#"Reordered Columns"[Code_Text]), "Code_Text", "Value"),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Pivoted Column1",{{"cardiac_freq", Int64.Type}, {"height", Currency.Type}, {"weight", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "BMI", each [weight]/([height]*[height])),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"BMI", type number}}),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type1", {"User"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
#"Unpivoted Other Columns"
