Hello,
I am getting so many syntax errors that I am hoping someone can guide me as to what should go where. It outputs a 0 followed by errors, at present.
CustomColumn = List.Generate(
() => [
i=0,
budget_index=0,
LastYearMax=List.Max(List.Select(RunningTotalList, each _ < #"BudgetTbl"{0}[Budget])),
result = 0,
current_running_total = RunningTotalList{[i]},
initial_condition = [current_running_total] < #"BudgetTbl"{0}[Budget],
budget_condition = [current_running_total] < ([LastYearMax] + #"BudgetTbl"{[budget_index] + 1}[Budget]),
last_year_running_total = RunningTotalList{[i]-1},
last_year_condition = [last_year_running_total] < ([LastYearMax] + #"BudgetTbl"{[budget_index] + 1}[Budget])
],
each [i] < List.Count(RunningTotalList),
each [
i = [i] + 1,
LastYearMax = List.Max(List.Select(RunningTotalList, each _ < #"BudgetTbl"{[budget_index]}[Budget])),
budget_index = Table.PositionOf(Table.Min(#"BudgetTbl"[Budget], each _ >= [current_running_total]) - 1),
current_running_total = RunningTotalList{[i]},
initial_condition = [current_running_total] < #"BudgetTbl"{0}[Budget],
budget_condition = [current_running_total] < ([LastYearMax] + #"BudgetTbl"{[budget_index] + 1}[Budget]),
last_year_running_total = RunningTotalList{[i]-1},
last_year_condition = [last_year_running_total] < ([LastYearMax] + #"BudgetTbl"{[budget_index] + 1}[Budget]),
result =
if [initial_condition] then [result] = #"BudgetTbl"{0}[Year]
else if [budget_condition] then [result = #"BudgetTbl"{[budget_index] + 1}[Year]]
else if [last_year_condition] then [result = #"BudgetTbl"{[budget_index] + 1}[Year], budget_index = [budget_index] + 1, LastYearMax = RunningTotalList{[i] - 1}]
else 0
],
each [result]
)
Any help appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Simply the formulas and take advantage of being able to refer to previous value "[i]" and next value "i".

Thank you!
