Power Query : MIN.SI.ENS equivalent ?

Hello everyone,

 

I called the community a few days ago with success, that's why I come back to you today.

 

I have a small question about Power QUERY.

Is there an equivalent of the "MIN.SI.ENS" (French version) function in Power Query ?

 

Let me explain :


I have two tables:
- CN
- Supply

 

In these two tables, there is a column "Item Key" which allows to make the link between the two. And a second column with quantities.

 

I give you the Excel function that I have to translate in M : MIN.SI.ENS(Supply[Qté cumul Art_Site];Supply[Qté cumul Art_Site];">="&[@[Qté cumul art_site]];Supply[Clé Art_Site];[@[Clé Art_Site]])

 

The result must appear in the table "CN".


I specify that I must absolutely do it in M I must not pass by DAX.

 

I hope you will understand my request and I thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

FDANIEL

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    This is why I don't like joins. I think what is happening for each line in the CN table the merging table (Supply) is getting recalculated, which causes a lot of CPU load. The way around it may be to Table.Buffer the supply table before join/marging with CN table (if this is resonably small).

    Also try this version, it may run faster as it should eliminate multiple calls to the Supply table.

     

    let
        Supply = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bZA7DsAgCEDv4swA+IO9tzCm979F6VAhKW6+96KEtQraaXgTXyQFCpYNP8h2PXzWJA6wiUJz0bPaYecRa8lqh0QK7EKPGNhgfII6v8JmNlGdJo9HSCwZ5oCFvfaVkM7zn023Hw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Item Key Supply" = _t, #"Supply Quantity" = _t]),
        CN = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("1ZE9DsMwCEbv4pkBPv/BnltEUe9/ixJHNqlUZepSS8bI71kgvO+JfRV+CTbRREnUlIon8Pt00CX0vAQYqPpZ1NxbQl1C7m0IFe0uaAiUz0JihMC2MPtuXKhNKBUnZJ4w/zuJWWDM3OMXJk8QmHFCRbwcVSU+UKx/NIOfguMN", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Item Key CN" = _t, #"CN Quantity" = _t, #"Desired result" = _t]),
        #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(CN, {"Item Key CN"}, Supply, {"Item Key Supply"}, "Supply", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
        #"Expanded Supply" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Supply", {"Supply Quantity"}, {"Supply Quantity"}),
        fMatch = (t as table) => 
            let 
                mTable = Table.Buffer(t),
                selectRows = Table.SelectRows(mTable, each Number.FromText([Supply Quantity], "de-DE")>=Number.FromText([CN Quantity], "de-DE")),
                selectValue = List.Min(selectRows[Supply Quantity], 0)
            in selectValue,
        #"Grouped Rows" = #"Expanded Supply",
        #"Grouped Rows1" = Table.Group(#"Expanded Supply", {"Item Key CN", "CN Quantity", "Desired result"}, {{"Supply Quantity", fMatch, type text}})
    in
        #"Grouped Rows1"

     

    Kind regards,

    John

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Assuming that I correctly understand what the function does:

    The MIN.SI. ENS returns the minimum value among the cells specified by a set of conditions or criteria.

    and the logic of your query, this is something that you can try:

     

    Assuming that you have CN table:

     

    and Supply table:

    Merge Supply table to CN table using LeftJoin:

    Expand the Supply column:

     

    In the dialog switch to Aggregate option and select Minimum from the drop-down list.

     

    This is the output that you should get:

     

    Kind regards,

    John

      Hello,

       

      thank you for your help.

       

      Your answer is very close to what I am looking for but in my CN table there is a column of quantities and in the end I have to retrieve the minimum quantity from the other table among those that are >= to the quantity of the CN table.

       

      Example of the desired result with a sample of my data

      CN :

        Hi Anonymous,

         

        Like this?

        let
            Supply = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bZA7DsAgCEDv4swA+IO9tzCm979F6VAhKW6+96KEtQraaXgTXyQFCpYNP8h2PXzWJA6wiUJz0bPaYecRa8lqh0QK7EKPGNhgfII6v8JmNlGdJo9HSCwZ5oCFvfaVkM7zn023Hw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Item Key Supply" = _t, #"Supply Quantity" = _t]),
            CN = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("1ZE9DsMwCEbv4pkBPv/BnltEUe9/ixJHNqlUZepSS8bI71kgvO+JfRV+CTbRREnUlIon8Pt00CX0vAQYqPpZ1NxbQl1C7m0IFe0uaAiUz0JihMC2MPtuXKhNKBUnZJ4w/zuJWWDM3OMXJk8QmHFCRbwcVSU+UKx/NIOfguMN", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Item Key CN" = _t, #"CN Quantity" = _t, #"Desired result" = _t]),
            #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(CN, {"Item Key CN"}, Supply, {"Item Key Supply"}, "Supply", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
            Output = Table.AddColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Actual Result", (x)=> List.Min(List.Select(x[Supply][Supply Quantity], each Number.FromText(_, "de-DE")>=Number.FromText(x[CN Quantity], "de-DE"))))
        in
            Output
