How to Filter out highest integer value in power query. ( only in power query which will be compatible in excel too please)
Below is the table I have, I need to filter out highest number which is 16 then keep others, using power query editor in excel.
There will not be any blank, but null's that also need to keep as it is.
| Table Name |
| null |
| 1 |
| 16 |
| 15 |
| null |
| 15 |
| null |
| null |
| 4 |
| 0 |
| 4 |

Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks, I am kind of new to the power query.
Would you be able to edit below , something is not wokring when I changed. Emp.2 is the table that need to consider.
let
Source = Csv.Document(File.Contents("C:\test.csv"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=17, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.Csv]),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Promoted Headers",{"Emp"}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "Emp", Splitter.SplitTextByEachDelimiter({" "}, QuoteStyle.Csv, true), {"Emp.1", "Emp.2"}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Emp.1", type text}, {"Emp.2", Int64.Type}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Emp.1"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
You want to get rid of the 16's, is that correct?
Yes, the highest number.
Here is one way:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUorViVYyhJBmEMoUTGGwwYQJmDRAYhuaKSjFxgIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", Int64.Type}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Max(#"Changed Type"[Column1])),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom.1", each if [Column1] = [Custom] then 1 else 0),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom1", each ([Custom.1] = 0)),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Custom", "Custom.1"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
Nice, it worked.
Thank you 🙂

in
