Hi,
so filter table ;
Table.SelectRows(Source , each ([B] = "A"))but if I do not know the name of a coliumn, just postion, so I know I need column 2 , so I found the name;
( List.Transform( {1},
(A)=> Table.ColumnNames( Source ) {A} ) {0} )So this is giving me the column name as text, but how to I get into the select rows as a column , Table.Column = a list,
List.Transform(
Table.Column ( Source , colname ),
(A)=> A = "A")So is there a way to get colname step which is text into the equivalent of [ column name] ?
Richard.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I have done a bit more and come up with this;
(List.Transform( {1}, (A)=>
Table.ColumnNames( Source){A} ){0})
To get column name, then
Table.SelectRows(Source, each
List.Contains( {"A"},Record.Field(_, columnName)
) )
If anyone have more ideas pleas let me know.
Richard.
Table.SelectRows(Source, each Record.FieldValues(_){1} = "A")
Actually, it's a bit different, and simpler thnks again,
Richad.
Thats similar to my updated post exccep i used record.field, thanks anyway,
Table.SelectRows(Source, each
List.Contains( {"A"},Record.Field(_, columnName)
) )
