    Excel Power query Buffer Table , Where and when,

    Hello all, back again,

    I've been trying to use a buffer table in power query running balance but aren't sure as to where or if I have the correct syntax.
    I've tried creating the index and then the running balance and then using editor to indert a step for the buffer.

    and also created the index and then the buffer and then the running total, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly,

    I've attached the workbook and a text doc counting the code. I've named the queries Running total before buffer added and RT after buffer addded.

    Any help in this matter gratefully received.

    Richard.

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

    Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between [code]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/code] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

    (Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

    Re: Excel Power query Buffer Table , Where and when,

    Table.Buffer loads the table into memory, and prevents query folding back to source. There's very limited (if any) benefit in using this on an Excel table source, where query folding isn't supported....

    For completeness, though, your query should look something like this:

    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
