Hi,
If I want to remove rows (3,4,5) - all the rows automatically that have no value (null) in specific column (name)
How can I do it?
The reason that I don't want that my excel workbook will bring data that I will not use and will calculate it when file will be refreshed
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you filter it in Power Query, the query will be optimized to exclude those rows and not import them.
Use the drop down in Name and just filter out the null's by unchecking it.
