Advocate IExtract same range multiple times out of 1 table into multiple (sub)tables
I need to split a table into a range everytime Table.PositionOf finds the "Marker word". It works when using only 1 Occurence (.First or .Last) but .All produces more than 1 number in the list and Table.Range cannot deal with this.
= Table.Range(Source,(Table.PositionOf(Source,[Column1="Marker word"],Occurrence.All,"Column1")),5)
In other words, how do I get Table.Range to work on each number in a list of more than one number???? Or rather, how do I "convert a value of type List to type Number" in this context i.e. producing multiple ranges (ideally appended)?
Hello, ooptennoort try this:
positions = List.Buffer(Table.PositionOf(Source,[Column1="Marker word"],Occurrence.All,"Column1")), ranges = Table.Combine( List.Transform(positions, each Table.Range(Source, _, 5)) )

ooptennoortWow, such simplicity and without any recursive functions! Amazing. Thank you so much!!!
