Delete rows containing certain text

example 1.png
Hi all, 
I have the above information already in POWER BI. 
I need to know how I can eliminate the rows in the Part Number column that contain "shipping supplies", "shop supplies, ", "office supplies", and "handling" 

 

 

Thanks in advance! 🙂

@parry2k Where do I insert that into the DAX exactly?

just the bracket after summarize , replace 'Purchase Order History' with my formula then comma and continue on.

 

If you past your formula as text i will update it, because you pasted image and i'm lazy to type all your formula in there 😞
