Filter specific value of the row that has multiple values

Hello,

I have values that are duplicated in different rows, example: 1 recruiter name appears in few rows with another recruiter name.

I'd like to have a filter by a specific name (which will show all values linked with the recruiter), so we don't need to select it multiple times - the problem is that I can't split those columns, because there are only spaces between the names of the recruiters.

Do you have any idea how to solve it? 

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

 

 Not sure if I've got it right but sounds like you need a Text.Contains so you can get every line with that name on it?

 

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Primary Recruiters", type text}}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each Text.Contains([Primary Recruiters], Filter)) 

**Filter comes from the below query so users can type in any name they wish to search for but you can hard code "Dave Jones" if you prefer**
in
#"Filtered Rows"

 

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Filter"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Filter", type text}}),
Filter = #"Changed Type"{0}[Filter]
in
Filter

 

Let me know if thats not quite right
