Extracting Values From a List & Inserting in Table at Specific Rows
Hello Andyb431
try this approach. Use your BenefitGUID-table and add a new column where you inserting you Timeline-table on every row. After that you expand the table
let Base_AnalysisTimeline= let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlSK1YlWMgKTxmDSBEyagkkzMGkOJi2UYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Count = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Count", Int64.Type}}) in #"Changed Type", BenefitGUID = #table({"Benefit GUID"}, {{"U1B1"}, {"U1B2"}, {"U1B3"}}), Multiply = Table.AddColumn ( BenefitGUID, "BaseAnalysisTimeLine", each Base_AnalysisTimeline ), Expand = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Multiply, "BaseAnalysisTimeLine", {"Count"}, {"Count"}) in ExpandCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Hi Jimmy,
First, thanks very much for helping! Super useful!
I have a couple of questions where I don't quite understand how the code is working due to my limited knowledge:
1) For the Base_AnalysisTimeline table, why did you use the Table/JSON, etc. method to create the table rather than the usual "Source = Currentworkbook() etc."? Is there an advantage of doing it this way?
2) For "BenefitGUID = #table({"Benefit GUID"}, {{"U1B1"}, {"U1B2"}, {"U1B3"}})", I guess I could replace this with a query which calls List.Distinct from my existing Benefits_Calc table and remove the other columns to create a table from that? The number of GUIDs will vary over time, so I will need the table to update row numbers dynamically.
Thanks again!
