Power Query add new column

Greetings everybody, I'm trying to add an Id column with no luck via advanced query.

I could just create an excel file, but what's the fun on that?

 

Anyway, thank you for your help in advance, Kazuo.

 

  • Hi rikazuo 

    List.Numbers (1,100) should work fine and create a list of 100 numbers.

    But what exactly is the issue? 

    If you want to add an Id column starting at 1 then you can do this from the GUI: Add Column -> Index Column -> From 1.

    Or you can type this in manually into the Adv Editor

     

     

    StepName = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"PreviousStepName", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type)
