Hi, a somewhat general question here:
Can I remove a column from a list of tables without adding a custom column?
I have a list of tables from a sharepoint site and I want to remove the default sharepoint "Title" field from each of those tables.
What I normally do is add a step in which I write
let
Source = Sharepoint.Tables("https://mysharepointsite",[ApiVersion=15]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Table.RemoveColumns([Items],"Title")),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Items"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
But do I really have to add a custom column then remove the other one? Is there a syntax where I can just modify the list of tables more directly?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @one_eon ,
you should be able to do it like so:
let
Source = Sharepoint.Tables("https://mysharepointsite",[ApiVersion=15]),
OneStep = Table.TransformColumns(Source,{{"Items", Table.RemoveColumns(_,"Title"), type table}})
in
OneStep
