Remove all columns since one specific column
- 6 years ago
Hello twister8889
was this stated in your first post? No.
Please always state what exactly you need
this code should fit your second requirement
let Source = #table ( {"Country","Place","Zip","New Columns 1","State"}, { {"A","43466","","",""} } ), ColumnName = "New Column", DeleteColumns = if List.IsEmpty(List.Select(List.Transform(Table.ColumnNames(Source), each Text.Contains(_, ColumnName)) ,each _ = true)) then Source else Table.RemoveColumns(Source, List.Difference(Table.ColumnNames(Source), List.FirstN(Table.ColumnNames(Source), each not(Text.Contains(_, ColumnName))) )) in DeleteColumnsCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
If this post helps or solves your problem, please mark it as solution (to help other users find useful content and to acknowledge the work of users that helped you)

Hi Anonymous, thank you for your answer...
I need to this in power query, the column: New Columns, sometimes can appear in the excel and sometimes this column doesn't exist in the excel, so I need this validation dynamically

I saw the video, but my question is: How can I remove all columns after New Columns?
I need to remove dynamically the columns: New Columns | State | Columns1| Colum2|New Columns| State| Column1| Column2- ImkeF6 years agoCommunity Champion
Hi twister8889 ,
check the column you want to keep -> rightclick mouse -> remove other columns.
That creates a Table.SelectColumns command that explictely determines the columns to keep.
