Filter a column depending on value in another column

There is probably a simple solution to this but I can't figure it out. In the simplified view of my data shown below I'd like to filter out all values of 2 and 3 in Column B, but only when the value in Column A is B. This is needed in the query editor.

 

Thank you!

  • Hello tgjones43 

    You can add a custom column using this code for your example then filter out the "remove" and finally delete the custom column.

    if [Column A] = "B" and ([Column B] = 2 or [Column B] = 3) then "remove" else "keep"

    If you need to create in query editor I would create a column that concats col a and b and then add a filter to exclude b2 and b3.

    Hope that's enough for you, if you need more detail let me know and i can post more.

    tgjones43 ,

     

    You just need to filter the columns one by one.

     

    Firstly filter Column A with value B.

     

     

    Then filter Column B like below:

     

     

    The result is as below:
