Solved: Re: Trying to make additional column from source t...

Hi,

i am adding additional column with data source, like if SourceKind = "Web" then Csv.Document(Web.Contents([Connector]),[Delimiter=",", Encoding=1250, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]) else [Connector])

And it is working for Web files.
But i have also Connector =

=PostgreSQL.Database("127.0.0.1:9998", "junit")

and from this power query seeing this as text not as source.

How to make from this string source table in additional column?

Please help,

Best,
Jacek

= if SourceKind = "Web" then Csv.Document(Web.Contents([Connector]),[Delimiter=",", Encoding=1250, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]) else Expression.Evaluate(Text.RemoveRange([Connector],0), [PostgreSQL.Database = PostgreSQL.Database])

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
