List.Accumulate add multiple conditional columns

Hi,   Now I'm using two steps to create two conditional columns, I need to do that in one step. I need to create col A and col B, examples below.   Separated queries : if xo > 50 then "right" el...

    Hi djohn05,

     

    I think you need to change this part to your new requirements:

    {if _{0}>50 then "right" else "left",if _{1}>50 then "bottom" else "top"}

     

    Or to make wdx223_Daniel vefrsion more generic (assuming you have a variable and large number of columns to add):

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjVS0lEyMVSK1YlWMrEEsoECYLYFkK0UGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [xo = _t, yo = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"xo", Int64.Type}, {"yo", Int64.Type}}),
        f = {{"ColA", (x) => if x{0}>50 then 100 else -100, type number}, {"ColB", (x) => if x{0}>50 then 10 else 0, type number}},
        Custom1 = #table(Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type")&{"Col A","Col B"},List.Transform(Table.ToRows(#"Changed Type"), (n)=>  n & List.Transform(List.Zip(f){1}, each _(n))))
    in
        Custom1

     

    Just pass the list of columns to f.

    Or (I guess closer to your initil idea):

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjVS0lEyMVSK1YlWMrEEsoECYLYFkK0UGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [xo = _t, yo = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"xo", Int64.Type}, {"yo", Int64.Type}}),
        f = {{"ColA", (x) => if x[xo]>50 then 100 else -100, type number}, {"ColB", (x) => if x[xo]>50 then 10 else 0, type number}},
        Custom1 = List.Accumulate(f, #"Changed Type", (a, n)=> Table.AddColumn(a, n{0}, (x)=> n{1}(x), n{2}))
    in
        Custom1

     

    Same, pass new columns to f.

     

    Kind regards,

    John
