Hello, How can I filter multiple colums in M code?

Hello,

 

I want to filter in my query  the rows that in my Column "GENDER" are males Male, except the ones in Column "Name" are equal to John.

 

Can you please tell me how I can do this in query editor using M language?

 

Many thanks,

Jorgeran5

@jorgeran5 ,

 

Something like:

 

Table.SelectRows(STEP_NAME, each NAME <> "John")

 

or you can use the UI to filter directly by the NAME column.

Hi @jorgeran5 , 

You could try to refer to @camargos88 's suggestions to filter [GENDER] and [Name] directly. Or you also could create a column like below   if [GENDER] ="male" and [Name]<>"John" then "1" else null, then filter this column which value not equal null.
