Invoke Custom Function - LIST as a variable

Hello folks, 

I am trying to create a custom function that has 2 parameter: list and number. For example it can look like this:

 

(LIST as list, NUM as number) => 1

 

When I want to invoke it I am unable to click on the roll down menu to select column.

However, when I want to invoke it normally (not with the invoke custom function button) I am able to select the column and it works just fine.

Can you please help me to find out where is the problem? 

Thank you 🙂

Hi, @sima_na_zemi ;

This is an example of a blog I once wrote about list as a variable, you can refer to it.

= (values as list, grouping as list) as list =>
let
GRTList = List.Generate(
()=> [ GRT = values{0}, i = 0 ],
each [i] < List.Count(values),
each try
if grouping{[i]} = grouping{[i] + 1}
then if [GRT]>0 then [GRT = [GRT] + values{[i] + 1}, i = [i] + 1]
else [GRT = values{[i] + 1}, i = [i] + 1]
else [GRT = values{[i] + 1}, i = [i] + 1]
otherwise [i = [i] + 1],
each [GRT])
in
GRTList
