Table.Buffer | Buffers a table into memory, isolating it from external changes during evaluation. |
This parameter is a list of text values specifying the column names of the resulting table. This parameter is generally used in the Table construction functions, such as Table.FromRows and Table.FromList.
Comparison criterion can be provided as either of the following values:
A number value to specify a sort order. More information: Sort order
To compute a key to be used for sorting, a function of one argument can be used.
To both select a key and control order, comparison criterion can be a list containing the key and order.
To completely control the comparison, a function of two arguments can be used that returns -1, 0, or 1 given the relationship between the left and right inputs. Value.Compare can be used to delegate this logic.
For examples, go to the description of Table.Sort.
This criteria is generally used in ordering or row operations. It determines the number of rows returned in the table and can take two forms, a number or a condition.
A number indicates how many values to return inline with the appropriate function.
If a condition is specified, the rows containing values that initially meet the condition is returned. Once a value fails the condition, no further values are considered.
More information: Table.FirstN, Table.MaxN
Extra values are used to indicate how the function should handle extra values in a row. This parameter is specified as a number, which maps to the following options:
ExtraValues.List = 0
ExtraValues.Error = 1
ExtraValues.Ignore = 2
More information: Table.FromList, ExtraValues.Type
This parameter is used to indicate how the function should handle missing columns. This parameter is specified as a number, which maps to the following options:
MissingField.Error = 0
MissingField.Ignore = 1
MissingField.UseNull = 2;
This parameter is used in column or transformation operations, for examples, in Table.TransformColumns. More information: MissingField.Type
Sort ordering is used to indicate how the results should be sorted. This parameter is specified as a number, which maps to the following options:
Order.Ascending = 0
Order.Descending = 1
More information: Order.Type
Equation criteria for tables can be specified as either:
A function value that is either:
A key selector that determines the column in the table to apply the equality criteria.
A comparer function that is used to specify the kind of comparison to apply. Built-in comparer functions can be specified. More information: Comparer functions
A list of the columns in the table to apply the equality criteria.
For examples, go to the description of Table.Distinct.
