Find MAX Value within a column
- 3 months ago
Hi powerlight1,
Create a new blank query. Open the advanced editor and paste in this code. You should be able to see what is happening in each step.let Source = Table.FromRows( Json.Document( Binary.Decompress( Binary.FromText( "i45WMrYwMDI3UNJRSkvMSykD0UWlmSXFQEZqGpAw0k1LLC5RitUhqNJYNzc1JbM0Vyk2FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64 ), Compression.Deflate ) ), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [id = _t, category = _t, #"type" = _t, subtype = _t, sellingclass = _t] ), ct = Table.TransformColumnTypes( Source, { {"id", Int64.Type}, {"category", type text}, {"type", type text}, {"subtype", type text}, {"sellingclass", type text} } ), group = Table.Group( ct, {"id", "category", "type", "subtype"}, { {"minsc", each List.Min([sellingclass]), type nullable text}, {"maxsc", each List.Max([sellingclass]), type nullable text} } ), merge = Table.NestedJoin( ct, {"id", "category", "type", "subtype"}, group, {"id", "category", "type", "subtype"}, "group", JoinKind.LeftOuter ), expandrows = Table.ExpandTableColumn(merge, "group", {"minsc", "maxsc"}, {"minsc", "maxsc"}) in expandrowsThe group step groups everything together and grabs the min and max values. You then merge with the CT step and the group step and expand the min-max columns. Power Query allows you to reference any step; it doesn't have to be the previous one.
Let me know if you have any questions.

The group step groups everything together and grabs the min and max values. You then merge with the CT step and the group step and expand the min-max columns. Power Query allows you to reference any step; it doesn't have to be the previous one.
