Reference the maximum value of a column in Power Query
- Dec 24, 2020
That significantly complicates the task. It could be like:
1) query source table
2) Reference source table, rename as maxValue
3) select in it Value column, Transform->Statistics->Maximum
4) Reference source table, rename reference as Range
5) Add Column -> Custom Column -> name as max -> =maxValue
6) Select Value column -> Add Column -> Standard -> Percentage Of -> from drop-down near Value select Use Value or column -> select max
7) Select Percent Of -> Transform -> Standard -> Divide -> 100
😎 Transform -> Data Type -> Percentage
9) Add Column -> Conditional Column and here combine something like
10) Select columns ID, Value, Range
11) Home -> Remove Columns -> Remove Other Columns (from drop-down menu)
12) Home -> Close & Load To -> Table -> select desired options
