Null values causing error on Custom Column
Hi,
I have an Amount column that also have some null's.
I'm using this expression to create a new column:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Table", "Selected", each if [Amount USD] < 50000 and [Company] = "A" then "Yes" else if [Amount USD] is null and [Company] = "A" then "Yes" else "No")
The resulting column is giving me errors whenever there was a null of the Amount USD Column.
Appreciate your help,
Guillermo

custom column syntax
I have the below custom column in the query editor, where the source is a table with text data and then 2 columns are created upon this.
I need to change the source to the table 'rel' and the column 'Score'. No matter what youtube tutorials or format changes i try i keep getting errors.
Would some one be able to help amend the syntax to use the source table and column above where applicable?
let
Source = #table(
{"Column1"},
List.Zip(

"Call me on 07525812845",
"I need assitance please call me",
"Last tried in 2019"
}}
)
),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Split([Column1], " ")),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(
#"Added Custom",
"Custom.1",
each Text.Combine(
List.Select(
[Custom],
(l) => [
ListOfCharacters = Text.ToList(l),
Result = not (List.Count(ListOfCharacters) >= 10

How to apply a slicer from one table to another table
Hi there, I am new to Power BI and do need some help on how to link a slicer from TableA to TableB. Basically, the slicer is coming from Type column from TableA. What I need is when the user select an option as FY1 or FY2, TableB will be filtered by matching their ID. For example, when FY1 is selected, the TableB will be filtered as
1 10
1 20
2 30
2 10
Join TableA and TableB does not work, as ID are not unique is either A or B.
The goal to get the sum of 10,20,30,10 when FY1 is selected, or 5,5,20,10 when FY2 is selected.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Extract 24 hour date/time ranges as additional rows
Good day,
I am encountering an issue which I cannot figure out by myself. Hopefully one of you can help me 😀
From an excel file, I extract tasks and their respective start- and end date/time columns (see example below). These can range from times within the same day, but also span multiple days. However, for each task I need to have the time span per day in which the task is “active” ranging from 00:00:00 until 23:59:59 (see example for better understanding).
TABLE1 (start situation)
| Task | Start Date/Time | End Date/Time |
| 1 | 14/09/2020 14:00:00 | 14/09/2020 16:00:00 |
| 2 | 14/09/2020 14:00:00 | 15/09/2020 16:00:00 |
| 3 | 14/09/2020 14:00:00 | 18/09/2020 16:00:00 |
Table 1: (needed situation)
| Task | Start Date/Time | End Date/Time |
| 1 | 14/09/2020 14:00:00 | 14/09/2020 16:00:00 |
| 2 | 14/09/2020 14:00:00 | 14/09/2020 23:59:59 |
| 2 | 15/09/2020 00:00:00 | 15/09/2020 16:00:00 |
| 3 | 14/09/2020 14:00:00 | 14/09/2020 23:59:59 |
| 3 | 15/09/2020 00:00:00 | 15/09/2020 23:59:59 |
| 3 | 16/09/2020 00:00:00 | 16/09/2020 23:59:59 |
| 3 | 17/09/2020 00:00:00 | 17/09/2020 23:59:59 |
| 3 | 18/09/2020 00:00:00 | 18/09/2020 16:00:00 |
I currently do this with a function but it takes forever (i.e. hours) to load it like this and the loading window shows a much higher number of MBs than the size of the actual Excel file. In the end, I end up with a table of appr. 900K lines.
Thank you in advance!

Dataset not refreshing - The key didn't match any rows in the table
Hi all,
I have searched this error and I see lots of solutions pointing to excel file names, but in my case I beleive my issue is on the D365 Business Central side. I have a report connected to D365 Business Central and I am getting this error all of a sudden. Could MS have done an update overnight to cause me the need to re-define the source?
One evening I refreshed just fine, and then in the morning I went to refresh and got this error when I went in to the query builder this is the error I see...

Converting time value to a decimal number so it could be displayed as a value
Hey everyone,
So initally i had two time values, which was StartTime and EndTime and right now I got the duration between both as one column, but in the duration format. The problem is, I can't figure out how to make it as a decimal or whole number, so I could display it as a sum in histogram. The closest I got to this is take duration as total hours, however, I need precise time to be displayed in the histogram as a value. Any ideas?

SQL Statement window became very small after the last few updates
Im not sure if it is just on my pc but Ive noticed the SQL window became uncharacterictically small to the point where looking at the query in there becomes impossible.
The whole window is not sizeable so I cant see a way to resize and make readeable. Is this a bug which needs fixing with a new update or is there a way for me to correct it.
PS:The window is from IBM Db2 database.

Merging two tables with similar values
Hello,
I'm using Tabular 1400 for the data model.
I'm trying to merge two tables on values that do not 100% match. One table has a segment of the string from that other table I'm trying to merge.
I tried using fuzzy but we're talking over 100 million rows, not sure if it's the best for performance.
The goal is to normalize values in the main table by finding key substring within those values. I hope this makes sense.

Clean and Trim
Hi, I am trying to merge 2 inventory files using the item code. One of the queries has spaces after the item code, so I have both cleaned and trimmed the column. But it doesn't seem to make any difference - I end up with many item codes that are not found, and when I look at the final query, it is obvious that it isn't working because the one inventory code has these spaces after it and that is affecting the merge.
But other than going to my source file, and removing the spaces there, which for obvious reasons I want to avoid, how do I get rid of these things?

VLOOKUP in power query
Hello,
in some of the last posts
So, I tried to sketch a function that would accomplish this comparison.
It was not easy for me to find a solution that was suitable for all the cases that came to mind from time to time and I am still not sure that it is very "robust".
I'd like to, if someone wants to try it out and point out situations where it doesn't do what it was meant for.

I've followed, the need to make comparisons between a text string and a pattern, as does the VLOOKUP function, has emerged.

I'd like to, if someone wants to try it out and point out situations where it doesn't do what it was meant for.
The specifications are these: simulate vlookup excel function:
which should translated to:
the pattern contains strings together with asterisks and the asterisks match any string (even empty).
If all the substrings of the pattern are in the same order in the sample string, the comparison is successful.
If the pattern starts or ends with a substring (not asterisk) the comparison is successful if the sample string begins and ends the same way.

Duration Format [hh]:mm
Hello Everyone
I have a file where we write down service durations we process for each customer. My goal is to sum up all durations for each customer and visualize these service durations with the format [hh]:mm. Works fine if I try this with Pivot, can't get it to work in Power Query / Power BI.
Example:
| Customer | Service Time |
| A | 80:20 |
| B | 71:45 |
| C | 53:30 |
| D | 20:24 |
| E | 05:59 |
Right now it shows these values in decimals, like this:
| Customer | Service Time |
| A | 3.35 |
| B | 2.99 |
| C | 2.23 |
| D | 0.85 |
| E | 0.25 |
Maybe someone has aaaa solution for this case?

Pagination - UK COVID-19
I am trying to combine multiple pages from the UK coronavirus data link here for more information. I have both a function and table setup to try and extract the data from the API query. I am using the table to define which page each request should be refering to and the function to send the URL to the table for drilling down into the data.
Code for function:
(params as text) =>
let
source = Web.Contents("https://api.coronavirus.data.gov.uk/v1/data?" & "filters=areaType=utla&structure={""areaType"":""areaType"",""areaName"":""areaName"",""areaCode"":""areaCode"",""date"":""date"",""newCasesBySpecimenDate"":""newCasesBySpecimenDate"",""cumCasesBySpecimenDate"":""cumCasesBySpecimenDate""}&format=json&page=" & params)

#"Invoked Custom Function" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Function", each Function([List])),
Function1 = #"Invoked Custom Function"{0}[Function], //this is where I think the issue is as this will only show the first page
