    Right click Navigation in Applied Steps and choose "Insert Step after". Then add a custom step with a filter. E.g.

    = Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step", each [Merchant] = "testmerchant")

Hi Anonymous 

Make sure you have the formula bar turned on. In PowerQuery go to VIEW and enable the checkbox for FORMULA BAR. You now see an extra bar where you can add the code.


Does that do the trick?
