Filter Column A based on another Filter on Column B
Hi All,
I would like to filter Quote ID based on the item column.
I would like to have all the lines from a quote which has AAA or DDD in the quote.
How could I achive this in Power Query?
Thanks,
shayla - here you are. The primary difference between this solution and the one posted by bhanu_gautam is looking to match cells containing AAA and DDD instead of an exact match. There must be some white space characters in the cells with the Item values.
Please try this:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUXJ0dFRQitWBcJycnOBsZ2dnONvFxQXMNkJSY4SkxhhiEJwNEzdBtsAESbMpzNBYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Quote ID" = _t, Item = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Quote ID", Int64.Type}, {"Item", type text}}), QuoteIdsByItem = Table.SelectRows ( #"Changed Type", (x) => List.AnyTrue(List.Transform({"AAA","DDD"}, each Text.Contains((x[Item]), _, Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase ))) ), Custom2 = Table.SelectRows ( #"Changed Type", each List.Contains ( QuoteIdsByItem[Quote ID], [Quote ID] ) ) in Custom2- Anonymous2 years ago
shayla want to get every record (row) of such [Quote ID] value, that contains [Item] value either "AAA" or "DDD".
Solution workflow: load data, clean Item text values (trim, clean), group by [Quote ID], filter to [Quote ID] which passes test (presence of "AAA" or "DDD" value), expand groups to a flat table.

shayla , either you can use m code for this or you can simply filter item rows which are equal to AAA or DDD
letSource = YourDataSource, // Replace with your actual data sourceFilteredItems = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([item] = "AAA" or [item] = "DDD")),FilteredQuoteIDs = Table.SelectRows(Source, each List.Contains(FilteredItems[Quote ID], [Quote ID]))inFilteredQuoteIDs- shaylaFrequent Visitor
Hi bhanu_gautam ,
It doens't seem working. could you please seperate the steps, as I am quite a newbie to power query.
Thanks,
