Mark rows depending on previous row

Hello everyone,

 

I have currenly the following problem: I have a column A of numbers (which repeat). One of the rows with the same number has the value "1" in column B (all the others have "0"). What I want is to mark every row with the same number after the row with the value 1 with the value 2:

 

A

B AB ABC
10 10 100
10 10 100
11 11 110
10 12 102
10 12 102
10 12 102
21 21 210
20"=>"22or202
20 22 202
30 30 300
30 30 300
30 30 300
30 30 300
31 31 310
30 32 302

 

Has anyone any idea?

    you can add a group-function and then with a Table.TransformColumns apply the necessary changes to the table.

    Here the complete solution

    let
    	Source = #table
    	(
    		{"A","B"},
    		{
    			{"1","0"},	{"1","0"},	{"1","1"},	{"1","0"},	{"1","0"},	{"1","0"},	{"2","1"},	{"2","0"},	{"2","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","0"},	{"3","1"},	
    			{"3","0"}
    		}
    	),
        Group = Table.Group(Source, {"A"}, {{"AllRowsB", each Table.SelectColumns(_, "B"), type table [A=text, B=text]}}),
    	AddColumn = Table.TransformColumns
    	(
    		Group,
    		{
    			{
    				"AllRowsB",
    				each Table.ReplaceValue(Table.FillDown( Table.AddColumn(_,"C",(row)=> if row[B] = "1" then "2" else null), {"C"}), null, "0", Replacer.ReplaceValue, {"C"})
    			}
    		}
    	),
        ExpandedAllRowsB = Table.ExpandTableColumn(AddColumn, "AllRowsB", {"B", "C"}, {"B", "C"})
    in
        ExpandedAllRowsB

     

    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

    Kudoes are nice too

    Have fun
