Index column in Power Query
I have a table in SQL that loads in Power BI, in that table has only a Number column.
I Want to know if there is any way to create the index column in Power Query?
The index column count every five rows of the column Number.
I created this column using R language, but I cannot use R in my organization
Hi Anonymous
There is an option Create Index Column (From 1) in Power Query Editor mode. So, add this index column.
next, add a Custom column:
= Number.RoundUp([Index]/5)full power query example:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("HcS5DQAgDATBXi6mI8sBYH7oP0XaCcZMWZ5MhSsHN+48ePLizYcvP7l/", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}), #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 1, 1), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each Number.RoundUp([Index]/5)), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Index"}) in #"Removed Columns"do not hesitate to give a kudo to useful posts and mark solutions as solution
