Remove all data related to an application code, when the status equals an error code
- 6 years ago
I'm glad it worked. You should mark it as a solution in case anyone is searching something similar.
You've mostly understood the code, I'll try to explain it step by step
SelectRelevant = Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Application Number", "Current Status"}),We get only the 2 columns we're going to work with, to reduce data load.
Select950 = Table.SelectRows(SelectRelevant, each [Current Status] = 950),We filter the relevant columns for only rows where status is 950
Distinct = Table.Distinct(Table.SelectColumns(Select950, {"Application Number"})),We get only the [Application Number] column, and because we need any [Application Number] just once, we make it distinct.
Remove950 = Table.RemoveColumns(Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"Application Number"}, Distinct, {"Application Number"}, "d", JoinKind.LeftAnti), {"d"})We join our table as it was before these calculations, with the newfound Distinct table, keeping only non-matches (LeftAnti means anything from left table (#"Changed Type") which didn't match the right table (Distinct)), and subsequently we remove the extra column [d].
