Loop through the table in M query

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone,

I have a below table name as TitleDim, 

 

 its dynamic sometimes has 2 rows and sometimes has 3 rows and more. Loop through the table 'Title.Name' and set as column header and value as Value.Attributes.L01 in another table.

Below is my try its working but its static,

 = Table.AddColumn(#"Source Table", TitleDim{0}[Title.Name], each TitleDim{0}[Value.Attributes.L01], type text)

How can I do it dynamic?

Thanks in advance

Hello @Anonymous 

I don't know if I got you right. However I understood that you need to create a new column, adding a table and using the name and value-column as parameter.

Here the complete solution

let
	Source = #table
	(
		{"Title.Name","Value.Attributes.L01"},
		{
			{"Name1","Australia"},	{"Name2","Volkwagen"}
		}
	),
    TitleFromNameAndValue = Table.AddColumn
    (
        Source,
        "TableFromNameAndValue",
        each #table({[Title.Name]}, {{[Value.Attributes.L01]}}),
        type table
    )
in
    TitleFromNameAndValue

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works. If this solution fits your need, copy and past a part of it and implement it in your query

Hello @Jimmy801 ,

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately this is not my expected output. Below is my expectation. 

Target table has one column 'Value'. I would like to loop through the below table, and add the Column name as }zPBI_country and value as Australia and so on in Target table.

Regards

Hello @Anonymous 

this means that if you have 10 rows in your target table and 2 in your table to be looped through, the expected result is a table with 20 rows where the values are duplicated.

Hello @Anonymous 

you can use List.Accumulate to accomplish your task. 

Here the complete solution

let
	Source = #table
	(
		{"Title.Name","Value.Attributes.L01"},
		{
			{"Name1","Australia"},	{"Name2","Volkwagen"}
		}
	),
	CellValue = #table
	(
		{"Cell.Value"},
		{
			{"1"},	{"5"}, {"6"}
		}
	),
	ListAccumulate = List.Accumulate
	(
		{0..Table.RowCount(Source)-1},
		CellValue,
		(old,current)=>
		Table.AddColumn(old, Source[Title.Name]{current}, each Source[Value.Attributes.L01]{current} )
	)
in
    ListAccumulate
