split columns with null result
thank you, but to clarify what i am looking for.
- i would like to move the second line of transact column, up to line who contain the date. like that , i will get 2 value for the same date.
That's very different from splitting the column.
One solution: (Paste code into Advanced Editor)
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTQByIjAyNjJR2l/LxUIAlkxupEK0H4SUAKzDU01AciqMKS8nyQQhOYQiAfodBIH4hgCjOKUsFmmsKVgkQgimMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [date = _t, transaction = _t, value = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"date", type date}, {"transaction", type text}, {"value", Int64.Type}}),
#"Add Shifted Transactions" = Table.FromColumns(
{#"Changed Type"[date]}
& {#"Changed Type"[transaction]}
& {List.Skip(#"Changed Type"[transaction])}
& {#"Changed Type"[value]},
type table[date=date, transaction.1=text, transaction.2=text, value=number]),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Add Shifted Transactions", each ([date] <> null))
in
#"Filtered Rows"Data
Results
thank you, could you explain me what wrong with my code?
i try to learn from my mistake and your code look very sophisticated for me.
Your code is not appropriate for your problem. Your problem isn't to split the column (which your code would do, if each cell had a string which included a linefeed character). Splitting the column means taking each cell and splitting it into two columns. But that's not what you really want to do. What you want to do is much better stated in your follow-up post to which I responded: "move the second line of transact column, up to line who contain the date."
is the solution work for this case :
You need to figure out what you want and express it clearly. You also need to provide data examples that encompass the variability you might have, and what you really expect for results. In a previous post, you wrote: " would like to move the second line of transact column, up to line who contain the date. like that , i will get 2 value for the same date." How do you expect ot get 2 value for the same date in this new example? What do you really want for results?
what i am looking is: to put all values from Transact column who are under same previous date on the same line .
i dont know how to updalod an excel file to give you a realistic example .
