Filter if contains

[kassymov_su]

Hi All,

While filtering having some issues. 

   M:

      = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns1", each ([Progress] <> 1 and Text.Contains([ID],"A")))

   Error:

       Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value 1 to type Text.
       Details:
       Value=1
       Type=[Type]

Error because column [ID] contains not only text but also numbers

Hi @kassymov_su ,

Since columns Progress and ID are of different datatype and you have used in the same M query code line, you are receiving that error.

Bifurcating it into 2 different steps should resolve this:

    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([Progress] <> 1)),//For Progress NOT EQUALS 1
    #"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each not Text.Contains([ID], "A")) // FOR ID NOT CONTAINS "A"

 PFA .pbix with solution. You can go to advanced editor and check.

Also can somebody tell me if I can filter the same but not contain "A"

= Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns1", each ([Progress] <> 1 and Text.Not.Contains([ID],"A")))
