Help! PowerQuery Problem (Permutation)

Hi everyone, i hope you are doing well...

My problem: I need to know the number of iterations between teams that worked on the same epic.

My data is something like:

Epic NameTeam
AX
AY
AZ
BX
BY
CZ
CY


For example:
Epic A i have three teams working together, so the possibilities are: XY, XZ, YX,YZ, ZX, ZY.

Epic B: XY, YX.

Epic C: ZY, YZ


The result would/could be something like (considering the 3 epics above) - this is the output that i want but idk how to do that

Teamxyz
x ----21
y2----2
z12----

 

If anyone solve this problem, could you please send me the editor script ?! that would be great 😃

Hi, @Anonymous ;

Try it.

let
    Source = Table.NestedJoin(Data, {"Epic Name"}, Data1, {"Epic Name"}, "Data1", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Data1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Data1", {"Team"}, {"Data1.Team"}),
    #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Data1", "Custom", each if [Team] = [Data1.Team] then 1 else null),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Conditional Column", each ([Custom] = null)),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Custom"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

The final show:

#"Coluna em pivô" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[Data1.Team]), "Data1.Team", "Epic Name", List.Count),
#"Colunas Reordenadas" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Coluna em pivô",{"Team", "X", "Y", "Z"})
