I need to expand each one of these columns that each represents a file, but it will take forever to do that. Is there a way to expand all of these columns at once?
Hi @joshuac055, check this:
let
TableA = #table({"4/4/24", "4/11/24", "4/18/24"}, {
{#table({"A", "B"}, {{1,2}, {3,4}}),
#table({"A", "B", "C"}, {{5,6,7}, {8,9,10}}),
#table({"D", "E"}, {{15,16}, {17,18}})}
}),
Ad_Helper = Table.AddColumn(TableA, "Helper", each 1, Int64.Type),
UnpivotedOtherColumns = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Ad_Helper, {"Helper"}, "Date", "Table"),
Ad_ColNames = Table.AddColumn(UnpivotedOtherColumns, "ColNames", each Table.ColumnNames([Table]), type list),
ExpandedTable = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Ad_ColNames, "Table", List.Distinct(List.Combine(Ad_ColNames[ColNames]))),
RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(ExpandedTable,{"ColNames", "Helper"}),
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(RemovedColumns,{{"Date", type date}}, "en-US")
in
ChangedType
I got the error below. I have 39 columns I need to expand and potentially more.
Expression.Error: 39 keys were specified, but 3 values were provided.
