Hi,
I want to make a custom filter if a column has certain values: If column = "A" or column = "B" or column ="C" then "filter" else "not filter".
Is there an IN operator, if column IN {"A","B","C"} in M Language/Power Query?
Many thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here's one way to do it in the query editor. To see how it works, just create a blank query, open the Advanced Editor and replace the text there with the M code below. You can use List.Contains( ) to do it.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclSK1YlWcgKTzmDSRSk2FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Letter = _t]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if List.Contains({"A", "B"}, [Letter]) then "Y" else "N")
in
#"Added Custom"

how are you populating the table with A B C & D? I have figured out almost everything else from your M-Code but that.
your code
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclSK1YlWcgKTzmDSRSk2FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Letter = _t]), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each if List.Contains({"A", "B"}, [Letter]) then "Y" else "N") in #"Added Custom"
