Create table based on an input

I have a table with a field length of stay (LOS).  I would like to have all patients with a LOS > X put into another table.  I believe I would use power query editor for this using the Table.selectedRows, but I don't know where to start.  

 

I would then like to use this table for another form to show data related to the users selected.

 

Thank you in advance.

In DAX you could create a new Table and use this formula:

 

New Table = FILTER('Old Table', [LOS] > X)

 

In Power Query, create a new query as a reference of your existing query then just use the GUI to filter to LOS > X

HI  @vstopp 

You could use this button to go to power query in power bi desktop.

 

In Updated ribbon, use this button

In old version

Then in power query, you could use built-in function to get it as below:

of course, you duplicate the basic table and do the filter on that duplicate table.

I did create the table (using the new table button).  Now how do I add an input box for X and incorporate it into the create table verbage?

 

tableLOS = Filter (CostUtilization_LOS, [losNumberDays] >= 500)
