    Hi Anonymous 

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    One idea, you have to create a column to determine whether the column contains letters, and then filter the custom column.

      Hello v-xiaotang, 

      I have limited knowledge of M, so am requesting assistance with "creating a column to determine if the column contains letters".

      I tried to customize this code that I found online but got the error - "cannot convert the value to type Logical."
      if Text.SplitAny(Text.Lower([Name]),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"){0} then "Remove" else null
