Removing rows in Power Bi

I have a very large table in Power BI and one of the columns is labelled time spent. I would like any row where this value is less than one to be deleted/remove. Please help

    Try using the time spent as a filter for the page. Drag it to page level filter, swith to advanced filtering, select "is greater than", and choose your amount.

    Can also be used as a visual level filter.

      Or you can filter in the query to completely remove those rows from the dataset. Filters in the query editor work pretty much the same way as table filtering in Excel.

    Hi lukecollins,

     

    In addition, you can also use Query Parameter to filter values dynamically. You can create a new query parameter, and specify a list of values. Then set Filter Rows condition as "less than the parameter". When you run the report, you can check different parameter values, to filter data less than different values. See:

    If you have any quetsion, please feel free to ask.

      What if I want to delete rows in order to manage the size of my data set?  Will filtering accomplish that?
