Advocate IIDoes not Contain filter in Power Query removes NULL values
Hello! Does anybody know why 'Does Not Contain' filter in Power Query removes also null values, not only the value specified?
E.G.: I want to exclude the emails that contain "yahoo", but I want to keep the null values.
= Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each not Text.Contains([Email], "yahoo"))

Elina_MirinAhmedx thank you for this video! It's working now. Do you know why Power Query does this with null values? I can't find a logic explanation in any documentation provided.
