Needing some help with how to build this table. Custom Columns.

[stuntmanpatch]

I am struggling with a solution for this challenge, hoping for some inputs.  I'm trying to build a new table that consolidates the rows down to the uniques Names, then custom column to pull in the data.

The table is on the left.  It is a single table.

On the right is what I am trying to get to.  P4 is the gold standard that I want to compare any other PIDs values.

It's an audit tool that when I select the PID on the table this table on the right should filter down to Column A being the unique Name, column B being that chosen PIDS values, and column B being the gold standard value.

I hope that all makes sense and thank you in advance for any guidance

Apologies if my description is vague.  I am learning as I go and it's difficult for me to formalize the problem.  I'll take another stab.  The posts thus far have gotten me close.

I have a single table that includes settings for various PIDS.

The settings that are in PID 25416 are considered the default settings.  Ultimatley, I am trying to put a table or display that would compare the settings say from PID 101 or PID 105, to the setting values in PID 25416.

The new column should return the respective value for PID 25416, for the respective Name, ie, setting 1, 2, etc.

Then I'm thinking in a display I can show these columns side by side to do a quick audit from any PID to the default values.

I've gotten to this point.  The isse with the below is that I do not know how to do the dynamic piece to pull in the relative value based on the Name.  

As in the below, I am pull in the respective value, but it is the value for Setting1 across the board.

What can i do to make the below pull in the value for the respective Name.

[Name] = [Name]  does not work.

Hope this makes it a little more clear.

Thank you all for the inputs.

let
Source = Prod_Custom_Toggle_Config,
AMB = 25416,
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "StandardAMB", each List.Max(Table.SelectRows(Source, each AMB = [PID] and [Name]= "Setting1")[IsEnabled]))
in
#"Added Custom"

This something like this what you are looking for?

let
    defaultPID = "25416",
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQwVNJRCk4tKcnMSwcxI5ViddCEjbALGwOZfpjCJkiqTVHN9sMUNsIubIzdEBO4aiNTE0MzbC5HkzDCpcMYlw6oHbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [PID = _t, Name = _t, Enabled = _t]),
    set_types = 
    Table.TransformColumnTypes(
        Source,
        {
            {"PID", Int64.Type}, 
            {"Name", type text}, 
            {"Enabled", type text}
        }
    ),
    defaultTable = 
    Table.SelectRows(Source, each [PID] = defaultPID),
    merge_tables = 
    Table.NestedJoin(
        Source, 
        {"Name"}, 
        defaultTable, 
        {"Name"}, 
        "Source", 
        JoinKind.LeftOuter
    ),
    expand_default_enabled = 
    Table.ExpandTableColumn(
        merge_tables, 
        "Source", 
        {"Enabled"}, 
        {"DefaultEnabled"}
    ),
    sort_table = 
    Table.Buffer(
        Table.Sort(
            expand_default_enabled,
            {
                {"PID", Order.Ascending}, 
                {"Name", Order.Ascending}
            }
        )
    )
in
    sort_table

Hi @jgeddes,  You helped me a lot with your solution you added.  It works great.  I'm hoping I can expand the requirement a little.  The code you shared assumed that defaultPID was a fixed 25416.

What if I had 3 options , 25416, 25418, 25420.
The user will select in the display one of the above.  Is is even possible to have the table column dynamically update based on which option the user selected.

The PID is a variable.  Technically, I guess I can add 3 new custom columns, one for each PID but I don't think that would force me to have to include more columns in the display that I am trying to avoid.

Thank you for any insights.

You can modify the Power Query code to allow for user selection but if you were to allow your users to pick a PID option from a list in report view they would have to be able to refresh the report in order for the Power Query to update.
That is not usually an option for most reports so you may be able to recreate the solution in DAX so it can exist in the report view without needing to refresh the dataset with each option selection.
One way to do this in DAX would be to create another table that contains the PID options. (25416, 25418, 25420 - make sure the data type matches the type in the original table).

You can then use the selected value of the new table in a measure that mimics the Power Query code. 
Here is an example of DAX code that does this...

_DefaultEnabled = 
var _rTable = 
SELECTCOLUMNS(
    FILTER(
        all(Query1),
        [PID] = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[PID])
    ),
    "Name", [Name],
    "Enabled", [Enabled]
)
var _lTable = 
SELECTCOLUMNS(
    Query1,
    "PID", [PID],
    "Name", [Name]
)
var _jTable = 
NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN(_lTable, _rTable)
RETURN
MINX(_jTable,[Enabled])

NOTE: Table[PID] is the new table created with the PID options.

Thank you for all your help.  I've been trying to solve for this one last item but cannot seem to get it right.  I was able to replicate your setup and that helped a ton.  I am able to choose one of the model PIDs and the _defaultenabled column will update accordingly.

Ultimately, I'm hoping to compare one PID on the left against one of the model PIDs.
The piece I cannot figure out is now how can I select a PID on the left to compare against.

An option to select say PID 105, and have it filter down to PID 105 compared against PID 25418 in the _defaultenabled column. 

I think I know the problem, just can seem to get it right.  If I put a PID Slicer from the full table, anything I select will blank out the compare table.  I'm guessing because we're explicitly filtering on a PID.  Or, another way, trying to filter based on two PIDs.   I've been trying to edit interactions but not getting anywhere.

Is is possible now to add another PID filter for all the PIDs so that a user can choose the PID, then choose the model PID, and see the display as one against the other.

For context, there are over 2000 PIDs, 3 Model PIDs, and 177 Settings, making this a really large display.

I appreciate your help a ton...

[jgeddes]

To do this you would need two separate tables for slicing PIDs. The table for selecting the default PID should not be related to the main table. The table for selecting the comparison PID can be related to the main table. 

I attached a pbix file with this example model.

Thank you!!! @jgeddes That did the trick.  My err was trying to associate the new Default PID table to the matrix.  Once I pulled out that mapping it all flows as expected.  Thanks again.

Could you please provide the sample data as a table here?

[Riny_vE]

Let's assume a set-up in Excel as shown below. Table1 contains your data, selection is a named range for the selected PID.

The following M-code will generate the PQ result table:

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [PID] = selection or [PID] = "P4"),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows", {{"PID", type text}}, "en-001"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows", {{"PID", type text}}, "en-001")[PID]), "PID", "Enabled")
in
#"Pivoted Column"

where selection is a parameter based on the named range.

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="selection"]}[Content],
Column1 = Source{0}[Column1]
in
Column1

I want to help you but your description is too vague. Please write it again.

How do you want to derive "Enabled for PID" in the right hand table?

For example 
PHD2 Name 1 = Y  and  PHD3 Name 2 = Y  and Enabled for PID = Y
PHD2 Name 2 = N  but  PHD3 Name 2 = Y  and Enabled for PID = N   why ???
PHD2 Name 3 = N  but  PHD3 Name 3 = Y  and Enabled for PID = N   why ???

Will there only every be one instance of P4 for each Name ?

If there are multiple instances then how should Enanable for PD be derived
