Use Table.ColumnNames() to get the list and then remove everything from the list that doesn't match your requirements. Then use the remaining list in the Table.SelectColumns() statement.

How do you pass a list into table.selectcolumns? When I pass my list into the function it gets:
Expression.Error: We cannot convert a value of type List to type Text.
Details:
Value=[List]
Type=[Type]- lbendlin3 years ago
