Solved: Dynamic Columns

GoatTracker · ‎09-22-2022

I'm wanting to add about 20 columns to a table (Column1 - Column20) all with the same formula as displayed below, any help will be appreciated. At the moment I'm doing this one line at a time 🤔

Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Date Dimension1", "Column1", each if [MonthStart]<=0 and [MonthEnd]>=0 then " " else "")

Thanks for you help

= List.Accumulate({1..20}, #"Expanded Date Dimension1", (s,c) => Table.AddColumn(s, "Column"&Text.From(c), each if [MonthStart]<=0 and [MonthEnd]>=0 then "x" else "y"))

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
