How to remove error rows ? Remove error option not working
- Anonymous7 years ago
Hi lavdeep,
This one stumped me for a while I was. I would transform data to eliminate errors and it just didn't take. Eventually this is how I solved it:
1) Make sure you are in the Power Query Editor
2) Go to the "Transform" tab
3) Select the column you want to modify
4) Look for "Replace Values", and more importantly, the little down arrow next to it. It's in the sub-section titled "Any Column"
5) Click the down arrow next to "Replace Values" and you'll see another option, "Replace Errors"
If you click that it should produce a dialogue which allows you to replace any errors in that column (or columns, if you select multiple) with a value of your choosing.
I had a similar problem with an excel dataset that I was bringing into the Power Query editor. After countless tries, I went into the source data and applied an IFERROR formula to result in "null" and then reloaded the file - which worked perfectly.
