Filter a table with nested columns directly in the table

Hello, 

 

I have 2 questions

 

1/ I have a table when i must expand column and expand list to filter a specific value, but i have problem of performance. If we filter directly in the first step can i optimize the performance ?


2/ How to do this ? 

 

I have many steps with list then convert to table then record then list then record then list etc ... 

Here is the image of my workflow

 In the end, i filter field = status 

 

So my workflow is : My list ->Convert to table -> Column of Records -> Column of Records-> Column of Lists -> Column of Records --> Column of Lists-> Column of Records --> Field = Status

 

How can i filter field = status directly before expand list and record etc  ...  ?

 

Because i have a very large numbers of rows when i expand all fields

 

Thank you in advance

Hello @francisthe63,


Let me guess: your data source is a complex JSON file or API? Would it be possible to make your M code available to the community to better evaluate whether something can be optimized?
