Filtering in Power Query

Hi,

 

I have a field for phone numbers in my data. A typical record should have 11 charecters in it.

But my data has a few outliers like 0, 00, 100, 15241, etc. 

 

Is there a way I configure a filter in Power Query to just include rows with 11 charecters in this column?

 

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

You can add a custom column

=Text.Length([Field Name])

Then filter out this column for 11
