Conditionally Filtering Out Rows based on 2 Parameters in w/ Power Query

Hello,
 

I have a table similar to the one attached below:

 
AcctNumCenterNumDepCodeBalance
1234541110122450
1234411101257200
49291804222257400
3801384048592224100

 

What I would like to do, using power query, is conditionally filter out (remove) rows where CenterNum = 1101 and DepCode = 257. I figured Table.SelectRows()  would work but it doesn't and the query just returns, this table is empty. The #"Expanded AccountLookup" ,in my formula below, is referencing the power query applied step before the one I am trying to create. I'm hoping to get some input on how to remove rows based on these two paramters.

= Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded AccountLookup", each [CenterNum] = "1111001" and [DepCode] = "257")

Thank you!

You were really close.  If CenterNum and DepCode are formatted as text columns then you would include the quotation marks as you have in your script - otherwise you would not include the quotation marks, but you have a few extra digits.  Instead of "1101" you have "1111001".  The paranthesis in the snip below were automatically added by Power Query in desktop, but they are optional in this scenario.

= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([CenterNum] = 1101) and ([DepCode] = 257))
