Remove rows based on another table
- 5 years ago
Chavas , In most of the connection, you have an advance option, you can give a query there. so add this query using new connection route
Chavas - Not entirely clear on this, sample data and expected output would help. Maybe something like EXCEPT?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

Hi Greg_Deckler . Thanks for your answer.
I have been looking for the solution but I should be doing something wrong because the RELATED function is not being accepted by the New Column editor.
I have a table such as:
TICKET TABLE ID Status 1 A 2 B 3 C With 1M Records. I have filtered to filter all with status C. So it just speed up my refresh process because it only process 500 rows.
I have also the Task table:
TASK TABLE ID Ticket ID Status 1 1 A 2 1 B 3 3 C This one haves let's say 5M rows, and I need to filter it and only keep the data of the Tickets which are relevant (The ones that where not filtered before) In this case, Task with ID 3 should be removed. so instad of processing 5M entries, I will just process 5K.
I have tried to create a new column, but each formula I set to try to get the data it does not work, the IDE does not let me set a VLOOKUP or Related formula even an IF.
Simpliet way is pseudo code will be creating a new column:
If (Exists in Ticket Table (ID=Task.TicketID), 1,0)
DELETE ROW IF Exists=0- Greg_Deckler5 years agoCommunity Champion
Chavas - If you are having issues with RELATEd, try RELATEDTABLE instead.
