Power Query Help required!

I have a dataset where the output shows employees and whether a reocord is locked or not.  Sme employees have both locked and not locked, ultimately showing 2 different rows for each.  I need to exclude any employee who has a no (even if they also have a yes).  I have included a screen shot, those highlighted in Yellow need to be excluded.  I can't remove duplicates as it doesnt remove in any order, i cant remove Yes for obvious reasons and removing no still leaves those yes's behind which need to be excluded.

Thanks for your help - I actually found a fix myself over the weekend which worked beautifully.  But again thankyou.
