Hi, I could use some help finding a way to do the manipulation below in Power Query:
I want to create a custom column "Times_Edited" that counts the total times a Filename got "Change Editing Required" or "Editing Required".
I tried this one, but I presume that my [Filename]=[Filename] is the culprit.
= Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value1", "Times_Edited", each Table.RowCount(Table.FromRecords({[TransitionName] = "Change Editing Required" || [TransitionName] = "Editing Required" ,[Filename]=[Filename]})))
Purpose: this table shows a history log of changes to the status of Documents. This column would be used as a metric on how often a file is send back for editing. (potentially a DAX procedure is a better choice in comparison to a separate column?)
Thanks!!
