Remove rows based on multiple criteria

[Anonymous]

Hello

What is the syntax for Power Query to remove rows on specific criteria?

I want to remove rows where (Col1 contains "something" and (Col2 is zero or null))

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

In this scenario, you need to create a column then filter table by it, finally remove it.

-

here is the entire body of code

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSkxMVNJRMlSK1YlWSkpKArKNwOyqqiog2wCJnVeakwPmQrQYILHhUsnJyUCuMZidmpoKZJuA2SkpKZgmAC2KBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Column1],"aaa") and ([Column2]=0 or [Column2]=null) then 1 else 0),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each ([Custom] = 0)),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Custom"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

the code remove rows where (Col1 contains "aaa" and (Col2 is zero or null)

@Anonymous , Filter the data based on those.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/filter-values

or create column and filter that

if Text.Contains([Col1], "something") and ([Col2] =0 or [col2] = null) then 1 else 0

use filter for column , on this new column
