I have one column with a unique ID and I want to create a new column with the following values (New, Used, Old) for each unique ID.
Current Table:
| Unique ID | Year |
| 123 | 2001 |
| 456 | 2008 |
Desired Table:
| Unique ID | Year | Condition |
| 123 | 2001 | New |
| 123 | 2001 | Used |
| 123 | 2001 | Old |
| 456 | 2008 | New |
| 456 | 2008 | Used |
| 456 | 2008 | Old |
How can I acheive this in Power Query?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @natasha519
Here is my solution which may be simpler.
First add a custom column from Add Column > Custom Column with the list {"New", "Used", "Old"}
Then expand above custom column to New Rows. You will get the desired result.

HI,
Here's one posible solution - sql like aproach. Paste the code to advanced editor.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCs3LLCxNVfB0UdJRikxNLFJQitWJVjI0MgbyjQwMDMFcE1MzCNdCKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
OriginValues = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlTSUfJLLVeK1YGwQ4tTU+Ac/xwgOxYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [TempId = _t, Origin = _t]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Promoted Headers", "TempId", each "a"),
#"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Added Custom", {"TempId"}, OriginValues, {"TempId"}, "Added Custom", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
#"Expanded Added Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Added Custom", {"Origin"}, {"Origin"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Added Custom",{"TempId"})
in
#"Removed Columns"Hope this helps,
Artur
