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 Jimmy801 ,
Here is what I ended up with (note that I added a couple of columns on the right for additional values too):
let
//Setup Base Table with GUIDs and Count
Table_Setup1 =
let
//Get the source table and update the types
Base_AnalysisTimeline =
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Base_AnalysisTimeline"]}[content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Base_AnalysisTimeline,{{"Count", Int64.Type}})
in
#"Changed Type",
//Create a table of the GUIDs
BenefitGUID = Table.FromList(
List.Distinct(Benefits_Calc[Benefit GUID])
),
//Add a column containing a table of the count for every BenefitGUID
Multiply = Table.AddColumn
(
BenefitGUID,
"BaseAnalysisTimeLine",
each Base_AnalysisTimeline
),
//Expand the Tables in the New Column
expandedTable = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Multiply, "BaseAnalysisTimeLine", {"Count"}, {"Count"}),
//Rename GUID Column
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(expandedTable,{{"Column1", "Benefit GUID"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns",
//Add Inflation Column to Table_Setup1
Table_Setup2 =
let
//Get number of unique Benefit GUIDs
noUniqueGUID = List.Count(List.Distinct(Benefits_Calc[Benefit GUID])),
//Create temporary list of Inflation Rates
tempList = Base_AnalysisTimeline[Compound Inflation Rate from Base],
//Repeat the rows the same as unique GUIDs
repeatList = List.Repeat(tempList, noUniqueGUID),
tempTable = Table.FromColumns({repeatList}),
//add index to that table:
tempTableWithIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn(tempTable, "joinIndex", 0, 1),
//add index to passed in table:
targetTableWithIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn(Table_Setup1, "joinIndex", 0, 1),
joinedTable = Table.Join(targetTableWithIndex , "joinIndex", tempTableWithIndex , "joinIndex", JoinSide.Left),
//remove the index column from joined table we dont need it
joinedTableWithoutIndex = Table.RemoveColumns(joinedTable, "joinIndex"),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(joinedTableWithoutIndex,{{"Column1", "Compound Inflation Rate from Base"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns",
//Add Discount Factor Column to Table_Setup2
Table_Setup3 =
let
//Get number of unique Benefit GUIDs
noUniqueGUID = List.Count(List.Distinct(Benefits_Calc[Benefit GUID])),
//Create temporary list of Inflation Rates
tempList = Base_AnalysisTimeline[Discount Factor],
//Repeat the rows the same as unique GUIDs
repeatList = List.Repeat(tempList, noUniqueGUID),
tempTable = Table.FromColumns({repeatList}),
//add index to that table:
tempTableWithIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn(tempTable, "joinIndex", 0, 1),
//add index to passed in table:
targetTableWithIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn(Table_Setup2, "joinIndex", 0, 1),
joinedTable = Table.Join(targetTableWithIndex , "joinIndex", tempTableWithIndex , "joinIndex", JoinSide.Left),
//remove the index column from joined table we dont need it
joinedTableWithoutIndex = Table.RemoveColumns(joinedTable, "joinIndex"),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(joinedTableWithoutIndex,{{"Column1", "Discount Factor"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
in
Table_Setup3
Not the most elegant solution I'm sure, but I'm happy with it for my first attempt.
Thanks again for all the help!
