Calculating a increase in faults across multiple Days/Dates
- 3 years ago
Hi Anonymous,
Sorry for the delay, I was working on a deadline project in the last few weeks.
I think you get the idea right. "Closing" column is the "closing balance" (number of faults) for the day as you have it as runing total. It eaquals to the number of faults on the next day. Of course your rows should be sorted by the Date column.
You can apply if to the mixed unique items in the same table by using Table.Group.
This example a bit messy, but it gives you an idea where to go:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTWMzDUMzIwMlbSUXIrykxJrAQyTAwMgKR/UWJeeqpSrA5QmQmSsuDEktIiiEJLDIVYzTMFqXIsKMjBb5qRAZK6WAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Days = _t, #"Number of faults" = _t, Fruit = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Days", type text}, {"Number of faults", Int64.Type}}), vt = Value.Type(Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Closing", each null, type number )), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Fruit"}, {{"Data", each let Combine = Table.ToColumns(_) & {List.Skip(_[Number of faults])}, Format = Table.FromColumns(Combine, vt) in Format }}), #"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Data", {"Date", "Days", "Number of faults", "Closing"}, {"Date", "Days", "Number of faults", "Closing"}), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Expanded Data",{"Date", "Days", "Number of faults", "Fruit", "Closing"}), Custom1 = #table(vt, Table.ToRows(#"Reordered Columns")), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Custom1, "Increase", each [Closing]-[Number of faults]) in #"Added Custom"
Hi Nida,
this is not a JSON script. This is M code for PQ.
To test it you need to create a blank query in PQ:
and then copy the code into the query using Advanced Editor.
Kind regards,

Hi jbwtp John,
I have managed to apply your code, I very much appreciate you uploading it above. I was wondering if there was to display Friday and Saturday output across 2 months data, I have data from November to early Jan and for some reason the output is not showing the difference but rather with the dates I used in the example for which data I do not have as the data is for 01.11.2022 - 04.01.2023
Many thanks really appreciate it.
Kind regard,
Nida
