How to split a table into multiple table based on every x column
- 4 years ago
Hi Marcin82 ,
It may not be the optimal solution, but the following code will automatically separate every 5 columns regardless of how many columns you have.
let Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("\\xxxxxx\TESTdited 2.xlsx"), null, true), #"STYCZEŃ 2022_Sheet" = Source{[Item="STYCZEŃ 2022",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data], #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"STYCZEŃ 2022_Sheet",{{"Column1", type any}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}, {"Column6", type any}, {"Column7", type text}, {"Column8", type text}, {"Column9", type text}, {"Column10", type text}, {"Column11", type any}, {"Column12", type any}, {"Column13", type text}, {"Column14", type text}, {"Column15", type text}, {"Column16", type any}, {"Column17", type text}, {"Column18", type text}, {"Column19", type text}, {"Column20", type text}, {"Column21", type any}, {"Column22", type any}, {"Column23", type text}, {"Column24", type text}, {"Column25", type text}}), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","","""null""",Replacer.ReplaceValue,Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type")), #"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value",null,"""null""",Replacer.ReplaceValue,Table.ColumnNames(#"Replaced Value")), #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Replaced Value1", {}, "Attribute", "Value"), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Custom", each Number.IntegerDivide( Number.FromText( Text.Select([Attribute],{"0".."9"}) ) ,5.0001)), #"Added Custom3" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "NewColumnName", each "Column" & Text.From(Number.FromText( Text.Select([Attribute],{"0".."9"})) - [Custom]*5)), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Added Custom3", {"Custom"}, {{"Count", each _, type table [Attribute=text, Value=any, Custom=number]}}), #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom.1", each Table.Group(Table.TransformColumnTypes([Count],{{"Value", type text}}),"NewColumnName", {"Tab", each List.Skip([Value],1)} )), #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Custom.2", each let net = [Custom.1] in Table.Pivot( net, List.Distinct(net[NewColumnName]), "NewColumnName", "Tab")), #"Expanded Custom.2" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom2", "Custom.2", {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5"}, {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3", "Column4", "Column5"}), #"Added Custom4" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Custom.2", "AllList", each List.Zip({[Column1],[Column2],[Column3],[Column4],[Column5]})), #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Custom4",{"AllList"}), #"Expanded AllList" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "AllList"), #"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Expanded AllList", {"AllList", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ";"), type text}), #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Extracted Values", "AllList", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(";", QuoteStyle.None), {"AllList.1", "AllList.2", "AllList.3", "AllList.4", "AllList.5"}), #"Replaced Value2" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Split Column by Delimiter","""null""","",Replacer.ReplaceText, Table.ColumnNames(#"Split Column by Delimiter")), #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Replaced Value2",{{"AllList.1", Int64.Type}, {"AllList.2", type text}, {"AllList.3", type text}, {"AllList.4", type text}, {"AllList.5", type text}}) in #"Changed Type2"

Hey Marcin82
The only way to do what u requested is to duplicate the main query as many as the total division you want...
Remove the columns you dont want within each query and then, select "Home>Append Query as New" and select all recent created queries in order to append and create the wanted table.
