Hi everyone,
I have a sharepoint list not maintained by me but I need to use some data.
I have a column "Site Name" with sometimes values like CNWQ01/02 or CNSGH10/11/12/13/14/15.
I need to split in different rows this column to obtain as result :
CNWQ01
CNWQ02
CNSGH10
CNSGH11
etc ...
I used the "Split Column" function and it has generated this :
Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {{"Site Name", Splitter.SplitTextByAnyDelimiter({"/","-"}, QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Site Name")which partially do the job correctly ... but when the new row is created it is only with 02 or 11 but I need to have a full name like CNSGH11.
Please, can you help me to build this query
Solved! Go to Solution.
and try this code
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcvYLdvcwNNA3NNQ3NNI3NNY3NNE3NFWKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [string = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"string", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each [
a = Splitter.SplitTextByPositions({0,
Text.PositionOfAny([string],{"0".."9"},Occurrence.First)})([string]),
b= Expression.Evaluate("{"& Text.Replace(a{1},"/",",")&"}"),
c = List.Transform(List.Transform(b, Text.From),(x)=> if Text.Length(x)=1 then a{0}&"0"&x else a{0}&x)][c]),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")
in
#"Expanded Custom"
and try this code
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcvYLdvcwNNA3NNQ3NNI3NNY3NNE3NFWKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [string = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"string", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each [
a = Splitter.SplitTextByPositions({0,
Text.PositionOfAny([string],{"0".."9"},Occurrence.First)})([string]),
b= Expression.Evaluate("{"& Text.Replace(a{1},"/",",")&"}"),
c = List.Transform(List.Transform(b, Text.From),(x)=> if Text.Length(x)=1 then a{0}&"0"&x else a{0}&x)][c]),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")
in
#"Expanded Custom"
Thank you very much ... it works like a charm 😉
pls try this
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcvYLdvcwNNA3NNQ3NNI3NNY3NNE3NFWKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [string = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"string", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each [ txt = "0123456789",
a =Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition((x)=>not Text.Contains(txt,x),(x)=>Text.Contains(txt,x))([string]),
b = List.Transform(a,(x)=>
if Text.Length(x)=1 then a{0}& "0"&Text.Remove(x,"/") else a{0}&Text.Remove(x,"/")),
c = List.RemoveFirstN(b,1)
]
[c]),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")
in
#"Expanded Custom"
Thanks this solution also works like a charm ... I choosed your second version but both of them works fine. Thank you very much for your great help
