Hi guys,
I really need your help
I want to change the table (table one) from this one
Column1 |
1 |
A |
B |
2 |
C |
3 |
D |
E |
4 |
F |
G |
5 |
H |
to this one (table two)
No | Manchester | Arsenal |
1 | A | B |
2 | C | |
3 | D | E |
4 | F | G |
5 | H |
For table one, all the text below Number will go for Manchester, and All Text below text will go for Arsenal. That`s why if you see cell (2, Arsenal) or (5, Arsenal), you will see blank or null cell.
Solved! Go to Solution.
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
group = Table.Group(
Source,
"Column1",
{"x", (x) => x[Column1]},
GroupKind.Local,
(s, c) => Number.From(c is number)
),
z = Table.FromList(group[x], (x) => x, {"No", "Manchester", "Arsenal"})
in
z
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
group = Table.Group(
Source,
"Column1",
{"x", (x) => x[Column1]},
GroupKind.Local,
(s, c) => Number.From(c is number)
),
z = Table.FromList(group[x], (x) => x, {"No", "Manchester", "Arsenal"})
in
z
Oh my God, you are awesome!
Thanks!, it works!
You can extract the text into a new column using if each List.Contains({0..9}, [Column1])then [Column1] else null) and then fill down that column. Then remove any rows where Column1 = number column. Then group by filldown column, and extract to new columns. I can't write out the code right now, but logically, thats how I would do it.

Dear Watkinnc, thanks for your reply
I have been here
and my current M code as below:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type any}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Value.Is(Number.From([Column1]), type number) then [Column1] else null),
#"Replaced Errors" = Table.ReplaceErrorValues(#"Added Custom", {{"Custom", null}}),
#"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Replaced Errors",{"Custom"}),
#"AddedCustom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filled Down", "IsNumeric", each if Value.Is(Value.FromText([Column1]), type number) then "Numeric" else "Non-numeric"),
#"FilteredRows" = Table.SelectRows(#"AddedCustom", each ([IsNumeric] = "Non-numeric")),
#"RemovedCustom" = Table.RemoveColumns(FilteredRows,{"IsNumeric"})
in
RemovedCustom
I still don`t understand with : "Then group by filldown column, and extract to new columns", to return the final table I desired.
