Remove columns in advanced wuery editor

[DrBiDuro]

Hi all, i am pretty new to power BI and I am encontering a lot of little questions all the time.

For example, I have 2 data providers that come from URL (Web) to extract sales. The incomvenient is that the column structure of both tables will differ every time i refresh as it is possible that one of both has no sales data, causing different header names.

Long story short, I need to remove and / or select the columns regardless of their name with the same instruction for both queries. The advanced editor shows this command:

#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Data0,"Column1"}). Here Column1 is removed.

Is it possible to index the columns and make it look sth like this?:

#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(Data0,1}),

Thanks a lot and best regards!!!

I don’t think there is such a command according to Table.RemoveColumns. You can try with another alternative, first transposed table and then remove first row, transposed table at last.

#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(Table2_Table),
#"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Transposed Table",1),
#"Transposed Table1" = Table.Transpose(#"Removed Top Rows")

Hi, you can do something like this:

= Table.RemoveColumns(Data0, Table.ColumnNames(Data0, 0)})
