Query editor question - count number of valid email attachments

Hi all

 

Is there any way for me to count the number of valid attachments within an email in Query Editor?  To do that, I need to ignore the header logo, footer logo, other random bits of garbage that show up as attachments on the email. So I need to count the number of attachments where the 'ContentType' field starts with 'Application'

 

I have aggregated the Attachments column by count of Attachment Name, but I want to add in a condition where the COUNT will only include attachments where the 'ContentType' of the attachment begins with 'Application' - how can I do this please?

 

My query is currently like this:

 

let
    Source = Exchange.Contents("XXX@XXX.co.uk"),
    Mail1 = Source{[Name="Mail"]}[Data],
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Mail1, each ([Folder Path] = "\Inbox\Purchase Ledger\Invoices\In Query\" or [Folder Path] = "\Inbox\Purchase Ledger\Invoices\New\" or [Folder Path] = "\Inbox\Purchase Ledger\Statements\New\")),
    #"Aggregated Attachments" = Table.AggregateTableColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Attachments", {{"Name", List.NonNullCount, "Count (Not Blank) of Attachments.Name"}})
in
    #"Aggregated Attachments"

 

Many thanks for all help
