M Power Query: Removing entire rows based on condition

[RafaelKnuth]

I want to remove entire rows IF both horizontally adjacent cells in the last two columns are empty (hence rows 4, 6, 7, 9 should be removed). How can I do this? Not sure by the way whether I should do this in M or DAX. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @RafaelKnuth

Try this Calculated Table

From the Modelling Tab>>>NEW TABLE

(Replace TableName and Column names with actual names of your Table and Columns)

New Table =
FILTER (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        TableName,
        "Remove Rows?", IF (
            ISBLANK ( TableName[Last Column] ) && ISBLANK ( TableName[2ndLast Column] ),
            "Yes",
            "No"
        )
    ),
    [Remove Rows?] = "No"
)

HI @RafaelKnuth

With Power Query...

You can add a Custom Column....>>>>then filter out the Null values in that column and then delete this Custom Column

Hi Zubar 

Do you mean that if I load 100,000 row table to power BI

if I want to delete from Row 5 till 100,000 , I can just write bSe on those script you share with me ?

That works nicely in Excel Power Query. Thank you!

Thanks, awesome! Any idea how to do that in the Excel source file? (it's not possible to create new tables in Excel Power Query ... in contrast to Power BI).
