How can I get a column value from previous row in Power Query?

Question

I want to get a value from the previous row.

I tried the following code as suggested in this post:

Table.AddColumn(#\"Added index\", \"custom column\         


        

Answer 1

The error comes because {[Index]-1} without anything before it is a list value, but instead you want to index into a row of a table with this syntax: MyTable{index}

That looks like:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Added index", "custom column", each #"Added index"{[Index]-1}[My Column])
