Transform Multiple columns by multiplying by another column

Hi! I have merged 2 tables together, however to get the proper representation of the data I need to multiply several columns received from 2nd table with one column from the first. I would like that ...

    You can't access other columns from with Table.TransformColumns, so you have to use Table.TransformRows.  Here's one way to do it in the query editor.  To see how it works, just create a blank query, open the Advanced Editor and replace the text there with the M code below.

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMrTQMzTQMzIwMlTSUTI0MjYBUs75Ral+ibmpYCGosC6IYQTjgBgmMI4xkGGmFKuDaZgZkmEgLaZQYbBhxjAOiowxmIPNMAskw8B6DaDiukjutACbZoTMMVaKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, SKUbundle = _t, Name = _t, Quantity = _t, SKU1 = _t, Quantity1 = _t, SKU2 = _t, Quantity2 = _t, SKU3 = _t, Quantity3 = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type text}, {"SKUbundle", Int64.Type}, {"Name", type text}, {"Quantity", Int64.Type}, {"SKU1", type text}, {"Quantity1", Int64.Type}, {"SKU2", type text}, {"Quantity2", Int64.Type}, {"SKU3", type text}, {"Quantity3", Int64.Type}}),
        Custom1 = Table.FromRecords(Table.TransformRows(#"Changed Type", (x) => Record.TransformFields(x, List.Transform({"Quantity1", "Quantity2", "Quantity3"}, (y) => {y, each x[Quantity] * _}))))
    in
        Custom1
