Hi Everyone,
I am hoping this is an easy request for the PowerQuery users on here. I am trying to translate a simple simple excel filter function with multiple criteria like D2=FILTER(A2:A13, ((B2:B13=@B2) * (C2:C13="BLUE")))into a PQE formula. My goal is to be able to create basically the orange section below in PQE where values in columns are transposed to values in columns filtered for some criteria so I can do calculations on each entire row using the both the original and filtered data (last 4 columns). What I cannot figure out is how to write the cell reference like [@[PROD CLASS]] portion of the formula. FILTER([OH QTY],(([PROD CLASS]=[@[PROD CLASS]])*([CATEGORY]=[@CATEGORY])*([SUBTYPE]="BERMUDA"))).

I have looked for a solution here, on other boards, YT in M is for Data Monkey, Reddit, etc., and can't find anything. As it's a relatively common formula, and referencing a cell in a column like (@B2) is even more common, my bet is I am simply not using the correct search terms. I have tried pivot/group/unpivot, Table.SelectRows, and then Table.SelectRows along with an index and Table.ToList which seems like they should work, but nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help me translate this? If it's easier than doing the entire table below, just how to write: H3= FILTER([OH QTY],(([PROD CLASS]=[@[PROD CLASS]])*([CATEGORY]=[@CATEGORY])*([SUBTYPE]="BERMUDA"))) will most likely do the trick.

I've spent at least two days trying different things on this one, and nothing works so I'm throwing in the DIY towel.

Thank you,
Rich

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
This seems to me like a weird thing to want to do in PQ, but I'd probably create the orange parts as a separate query using a pivot, then merge them with the blue parts on whatever the filter fields are.

I have no issues with doing a merge, I just can't seem to get an unpivot/group/pivot to work.

This creates columns H through S. No pivot/unpivot/group/merge, sorry. Add final columns (T - W) yourself.
Power Query:
let
    // your original table with columns A-G
    Source = your_table,
    // all subtypes
    subtypes = List.Buffer(List.Distinct(Source[SUBTYPE])),
    // record with qty/lsp/dis of all combinations
    rec = Record.Combine(
        Table.ToList(
            Source, 
            (x) => Record.FromList(
                {[QTY = x{4}, LSP = x{5}, DIS = x{6}]}, 
                {x{1} & x{3} & x{2}}
            )
        )
    ),
    // add qty, lsp and dis columns
    to_list = Table.ToList(
        Source, 
        (x) => x & 
            List.Transform(subtypes, (w) => Record.FieldOrDefault(rec, x{1} & x{3} & w)[QTY]) & 
            List.Transform(subtypes, (w) => Record.FieldOrDefault(rec, x{1} & x{3} & w)[LSP]) & 
            List.Transform(subtypes, (w) => Record.FieldOrDefault(rec, x{1} & x{3} & w)[DIS])
    ),
    // transform back to table with new columns
    to_table = Table.FromList(
        to_list, 
        (x) => x,
        Table.ColumnNames(Source) & 
        List.Transform(subtypes, (w) => w & " " & "QTY") & 
        List.Transform(subtypes, (w) => w & " " & "LSP") & 
        List.Transform(subtypes, (w) => w & " " & "DIS")
    )

Hi @RICH937 ,


Try - your original table with columns B-G,

Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    ColName = {Table.ColumnNames(Source)} & {{"QTY","LSP","DIS"}} & {List.Distinct(Source[SUBTYPE])},
    Col_H_To_S = List.Accumulate(List.Zip({List.LastN(ColName{0},3),ColName{1}}), Source, (a,b)=> List.Accumulate(ColName{2}, a, (c,d)=> Table.AddColumn(c, d & " " &  b{1}, each 
                let Prod = Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}) in Table.Column(Table.SelectRows(Source, each Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{1}) = d and Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}) = Prod), b{0}){0}))),
    Col_T = Table.AddColumn(Col_H_To_S, "TTL VOL", each let Prod = Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}) in List.Sum(Table.Column(Table.SelectRows(Source, each Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}) = Prod), ColName{0}{3}))),
    Col_U = Table.AddColumn(Col_T, "TTL VALUE", each List.Sum(Table.AddColumn(Table.FromColumns(List.Split(Record.FieldValues(Record.SelectFields(_, List.Transform({6..13}, each Table.ColumnNames(Col_T){_}))),4)), "Custom", each [Column1] * [Column2])[Custom])),
    Col_V = Table.AddColumn(Col_U, "SUB % VOL", each Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{3}) / Record.Field(_,Table.ColumnNames(Col_U){18})),
    Col_W = Table.AddColumn(Col_V, "SUB % VALUE", each Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{3}) * Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{4}) / Record.Field(_,Table.ColumnNames(Col_U){19})),
    #"Final" = let x =  Table.AddColumn(Col_W, "PROD_ID", each Text.Start(Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}),1) & "-" & Text.End(Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}),1)) in Table.SelectColumns(x, {"PROD_ID"} & Table.ColumnNames(Col_W))
in
    #"Final"

Hi @RICH937,

Slightly optimized code

Python:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
    ColName = {Table.ColumnNames(Source)} & {{"QTY","LSP","DIS"}} & {List.Distinct(Source[SUBTYPE])},
    fx = (Prod_Class as text, Col_Name as text, Subtype as list) as number => 
                List.Sum(Table.Column(Table.SelectRows(Source, each List.Contains(Subtype,Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{1})) and Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}) = Prod_Class), Col_Name)),
    Col_H_To_S = List.Accumulate(List.Zip({List.LastN(ColName{0},3),ColName{1}}), Source, 
                 (a,b)=> List.Accumulate(ColName{2}, a,     
                 (c,d)=> Table.AddColumn(c, d & " " &  b{1}, 
                 each fx(Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}),b{0},{d})))),
    Col_T = Table.AddColumn(Col_H_To_S, "TTL VOL", 
                each fx(Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}), ColName{0}{3}, ColName{2})),
    Col_U = Table.AddColumn(Col_T, "TTL VALUE", 
                each let x = List.Zip(List.Split(Record.FieldValues(Record.SelectFields(_, List.Transform({6..13}, each Table.ColumnNames(Col_T){_}))),4)) 
                in List.Accumulate(x,0,(s,c)=> s + (c{0}*c{1}))),
    Col_V = Table.AddColumn(Col_U, "SUB % VOL", 
                each Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{3}) / Record.Field(_,Table.ColumnNames(Col_U){18})),
    Col_W = Table.AddColumn(Col_V, "SUB % VALUE", 
                each Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{3}) * Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{4}) / Record.Field(_,Table.ColumnNames(Col_U){19})),
    Col_A = let x =  Table.AddColumn(Col_W, "PROD_ID", each Text.Start(Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}),1) & "-" & Text.End(Record.Field(_,ColName{0}{0}),1)) 
                in Table.SelectColumns(x, {"PROD_ID"} & Table.ColumnNames(Col_W))
in
    Col_A
