I have a complicated windowed running total I'm trying to calculate. I've made an excel example that I'd like to implement in powerquery so I don' thave to copy the formulas down. Here's an example file

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
The column on the right is the expected result. I implemented the expected result in excel, now I want to implement it in power query. Sorry that wasn't clear

Yes, post #4 says "or [try this link]" I was hoping for the "either" part not the "or" part as reading that link involves a level of power query mastering in includes creating a udf, passing the same table and other parameters, getting back a number. I presume it self casts to a primitive, hard to tell and then using that number. I don't know if this is all true, but looking at the amount of interest surrounding this topic, I guess this is an esoteric use case that isn't just easily implemented. Could be worse, could have to use a cursor or scala. Actually scala is easier.

so I don't know what are you trying to achieve if that method from link is not acceptable for you

besides hard to say something more if post#1 and 2:

I don't know how to add text to that prior picture, I'm trying to implement the "owe" column and you can see how the column was calculated.
