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 | A | B | A | B | C | ||
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | ||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ||
| 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | ||
| 2 | 0 | "=>" | 2 | 2 | or | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | ||
| 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | ||
| 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | ||
| 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | ||
| 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | ||
| 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | ||
| 3 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 2 |
Has anyone any idea?
Hello Anonymous
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 ExpandedAllRowsBCopy 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

Yeah, it seems that you want some variation of Cthulhu. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Cthulhu/td-p/509739
You will almost certainly need to add an Index column to your data, otherwise it is impossible to know which row comes before another.
