List.Generate
Generates a list given an initial value function, a condition function, a next function, and an optional transformation function on the values.
function (initialas function,conditionas function,nextas function, optionalselectoras nullable function) as list
Generates a list of values given four functions that generate the initial value
initial, test against a condition condition, and if successful select the result and generate the next value next. An optional parameter, selector, may also be specified.List.Generators
Create a list that starts at 10, remains greater than 0 and decrements by 1.
List.Generate(()=>10, each _ > 0, each _ - 1)
{10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1}
Generate a list of records containing x and y, where x is a value and y is a list. x should remain less than 10 and represent the number of items in the list y. After the list is generated, return only the x values.
List.Generate(()=> [ x = 1 , y = {}] , each [x] < 10 , each [x = List.Count([y]), y = [y] & {x}] , each [x])
{1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
