Need help implementing WHERE clause in Power Query

[Jsonify]

In my SELECT statement, I am having trouble implementing the WHERE clause since it is using the LOWER command. I'm also struggling to get the ('(Invalid)', ('Not Specified')') parts of the statement.

SELECT DISTINCT
    T_TESTCASE.ORIGIN_ID AS "Test Case ID",
    T_TESTCASE.NAME AS "Test Case Name",
    T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1 AS "Test Case Top folder name",
    T_TESTCASE.FULLPATH AS "Test Case Fullpath",
    T_TESTEXECSTATUS.NAME AS "Test Execution Status",
    T_USER.FULLNAME AS "Test Case Designer",
    T_HASREQUIREMENT.NAME AS "Has Requirement",
    T_PROJECT.DOMAIN_NAME AS "Domain Name",
    T_PROJECT.NAME AS "Project Name"
FROM T_TESTCASE
    INNER JOIN T_TESTEXECSTATUS ON T_TESTCASE.T_TESTEXECSTATUS_ID = T_TESTEXECSTATUS.T_TESTEXECSTATUS_ID
    INNER JOIN T_USER ON T_TESTCASE.T_DESIGNER_ID = T_USER.T_USER_ID
    INNER JOIN T_HASREQUIREMENT ON T_tESTCASE.T_HASREQUIREMENT_ID = T_HASREQUIREMENT.T_HASREQUIREMENT_ID
    INNER JOIN T_PROJECT ON T_TESTCASE.T_PROJECT_ID = T_PROJECT.T_PROJECT_ID
WHERE
    NOT (T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1 IN ('(Invalid)', '(Not Specified)')
       OR LOWER(T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1) LIKE '%archive%'
       OR LOWER(T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1) LIKE '%recycle%bin%'
       OR LOWER(T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1) LIKE '%temp%'
       OR LOWER(T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1) LIKE '%delete%')
AND T_TESTCASE.DELETED_DATETIME IS NULL
AND T_PROJECT.DELETED_DATETIME IS NULL
AND T_PROJECT.DOMAIN_NAME NOT IN ('(Invalid)', '(Not Specified)')

Any advice would be amazing. Thanks.

@Jsonify , Tables should be joined

you need to have two filter clauses

filter(T_TESTCASE,
NOT (T_TESTCASE[TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1] IN ('(Invalid)', '(Not Specified)')
|| SEARCH("archive",T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1,1,0) >0
|| SEARCH("recycle%bin",T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1,1,0) >0
|| SEARCH("temp"T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1,1,0) >0

|| SEARCH("delete"T_TESTCASE.TESTCASEFOLDER_NAME1,1,0) >0
&& isblank(T_TESTCASE[DELETED_DATETIME]))

, filter(T_PROJECT, isblank(T_PROJECT[DELETED_DATETIME]) && NOT(T_PROJECT.DOMAIN_NAME IN {"(Invalid)", "(Not Specified)"}))

"Lower" is the least of your problems. Power Query does not have the concept of wildcards.

Lower:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/text-lower

search: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/text-contains

NOT IN statement:  use lists:  {"(Invalid)", "(Not Specified)"}

Fun fact - you can't use the lists for the search.  Need to use or and and.
