In Power Query, I want to delete/remove all rows that contain the value of another row as a prefix. For example I want to transform the table below so that it contains only 2 rows, A and B
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @supergenius123 ,
this is your code, to add in PQ
#"Aggiunta colonna personalizzata" = Table.AddColumn(#"Rinominate colonne", "IsPrefix", (currentRow) =>
let
AllValues = List.Distinct(#"Rinominate colonne"[Value]),
OtherValues = List.RemoveItems(AllValues, {currentRow[Value]}),
IsPrefix = List.AnyTrue(List.Transform(OtherValues, (x) => Text.StartsWith(currentRow[Value], x)))
in
IsPrefix
),
#"Filtrate righe" = Table.SelectRows(#"Aggiunta colonna personalizzata", each [IsPrefix] = false),
#"Rimosse colonne" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtrate righe", {"IsPrefix"})
in
#"Rimosse colonne"
Let me know 😉
Yep perfect, thanks!
