Hello
I'd like to subtract other figures from the total figure. then I'd like to replace the total value with the new value. how can I do this in Power Query?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Design red flag. Do not repeat data in the same table.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(
Json.Document(
Binary.Decompress(
Binary.FromText(
"i45WCskvScxR0oHThgYGSrE60UoBiUWZxUC+c2ZJJZAyBQv65Oel5OehiMYCAA==",
BinaryEncoding.Base64
),
Compression.Deflate
)
),
let
_t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true])
in
type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t]
),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(
Source,
{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", Int64.Type}}
),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(
#"Changed Type",
each [Column3],
each
if [Column2] = "Total" then
[Column3] - List.Sum(List.Skip(#"Changed Type"[Column3], 1))
else
[Column3],
Replacer.ReplaceValue,
{"Column3"}
)
in
#"Replaced Value"
