Use variables as column names in List Selects

Hi Community,

Today I'm stuck on a simple list selection. I need to load the KPI from another table according to the group the salesperson belongs to. One possibility would be an IF statement but the groups may vary, in this case I would like to select the Goals Table Column from the group the seller belongs to. I tried declaring a variable and calling it as column but it didn't work.

 

let  Group = [GROUP] in
    Goals & Group{List.PositionOf(Goals[KPI], "AMOUNT")}

 

And Tried

let  Group = [GROUP] in
    Goals{List.PositionOf(Goals[KPI], "AMOUNT")}Group

 

But both return me Expression.SyntaxError: Expected token Eof. Another problem, is the dimension of the table that exceeds the thousands of rows

heres the table sample GOALS

SALES KPI40109222683778
SERVICES KPI440022944251
RENEW KPI2418121618
MONETIZE KPI4369329236
AMOUNT43404295658883

  • Have you considered letting the data model do the work for you?

      Probably, it's consuming too much memory resource to merge the two tables. Thanks for help
