Hello @Anonymous
now this requires some advanced coding. It includes to include the Group-id in your column names, foresee a renmaing process as well as deleting and adding process. I've tried this and found a solution. You have to change 2 queries. Here the code for it
//Groups
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Groups"]}[Content],
AddKey = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Key", each Text.From([ID])&"-"&Text.From([Name]))
in
AddKey
//RecursiveMerge
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook
(
)
{[Name="RecursiveMerge"]}[Content
],
Source2 = Excel.CurrentWorkbook
(
)
{[Name="Users"]}[Content
],
#"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin
(
Source2,
{"ID"},
Source,
{"ID"},
"Removed Columns",
JoinKind.LeftOuter
),
#"Expanded Removed Columns" = Table.ExpandTableColumn
(
#"Merged Queries",
"Removed Columns",
List.Skip
(
Table.ColumnNames
(
Source
),
2
)
),
SelectGroups = Table.FromRecords
(
Table.TransformRows
(
Table.AddColumn
(
Table.AddColumn
(
Table.ExpandTableColumn
(
Table.NestedJoin
(
Table.TransformColumnTypes
(
Table.SplitColumn
(
Table.FromList
(
List.Select
(
Table.ColumnNames
(
#"Expanded Removed Columns"
),
each Text.Contains
(
_,
"-"
)
),
Splitter.SplitByNothing
(
)
),
"Column1",
Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter
(
"-"
)
),
{{"Column1.1", type number}}
),
"Column1.1",
Groups,
"ID",
"Groups"
),
"Groups",
{"Name"},
{"Name"}
),
"OldName",
each Text.From
(
[Column1.1]
)
&"-"&[Column1.2]
),
"NewName",
each Text.From
(
[Column1.1]
)
&"-"&[Name]
),
(
row
)
=> if row[NewName]=null then Record.TransformFields
(
row,
{"NewName", each row[OldName]&" / to be deleted"}
)
else row
)
),
RenameColumns = Table.RenameColumns
(
#"Expanded Removed Columns",
List.Zip
(
{SelectGroups[OldName],SelectGroups[NewName]}
)
),
ColumnsToAdd = List.Difference
(
Groups[Key
],
Table.ColumnNames
(
RenameColumns
)
),
AddColumns = Table.SelectColumns
(
RenameColumns,
Table.ColumnNames
(
RenameColumns
)
&ColumnsToAdd,
MissingField.UseNull
)
in
AddColumns
Try it out
I'm looking forward to your feedback
