Hey guys,
I have a small ask about removing rows. I simply want to remove the rows that match.
I tried M queries like:
= Table.RemoveMatchingRows(#"CostomStep",[Column1=Column2])
But I'm not sure I'm filling in the arguments correctly, and the documentation is pretty bad for beginners to figure out.
| Column1 | Column2 |
| A | B |
| C | D |
| E | E |
| F | G |
| H | H |
Just need to remove the rows that have matching values between these columns.
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Simply do the reverse i.e. SelectRows rather than Removing Rows which is easier to write
= Table.SelectRows(#"CostomStep", each [Column1]<>[Column2])

That's what I'm talkin about! Thank you!
I would make a custom column with
each if[Column1] = [Column2] then "True" else "False")
Then filter out the "True" values in the custom column.
