Remove rows with blank fields on import

Is it possible to have Power BI filter out any rows that have empty fields during import from an .xlsx file, or would I need to do that manually?

HI @PowerBINoob24 

 

When you load the data into POwr BI Desktop with Power Query you can set a filter on each column.

So you can filter out blanks and as soon as you did the setting it will be filtered out withh each refresh.

 

Best regards
