PowerQUery Find First Value greater than 0

Hi,

 

I am trying to exclusively use Power Query to find the first value in a row greater than greater than 0 

 

Tried the below but doesnt work

List.RemoveNulls(List.RemoveFirstN(Record.ToList(_)),3){0}

 

The column i want to start looking from is after 3

 

Thanks

Managed to get it to work using this insteatry

 

try List.Select( List.RemoveFirstN(Record.ToList(_), 3), (x) => x > 0 ){0}  otherwise 0)

Hi, @fazza1991 

    List.Select(
        List.RemoveFirstN(Record.ToList(_), 3),
        (x) => x > 0
    ){0}

Thanks for this. Almost there.

One last thing as i still get errors for those that have 0 across the entire row.

If there is no value greater than 0 how would i do it so its just 0

 

e.g. code above with iferror then 0

    List.Select(
        List.RemoveFirstN(Record.ToList(_), 3),
        (x) => x > 0
    ){0} ? ?? 0

didnt work - keep getting error
