        [a = 1, b = 4],
        [a = 2, b = 4],
        [a = 1, b = 4]
    }),

        [a = 2, b = 4],
        [a = 6, b = 8]
    }
)

Output

0

Example 2

Usage

Power Query M

Table.PositionOfAny(
    Table.FromRecords({
        [a = 2, b = 4],
        [a = 6, b = 8],
        [a = 2, b = 4],
        [a = 1, b = 4]
    }),
    {
        [a = 2, b = 4],
