Hello
I´m trying to creat a table based in annother table using Table.FirstN conditional.
But I don´t know how to write a conditional that helps me to only select the data that are numbers in the colum,
until the first text type data appears like this:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @OscarSuarez10,
then:
#"Keep only data until the word TIME appears in the column" = Table.FirstN(#"Previous Step", each [yourColumnName] <> "TIME")
Hi @OscarSuarez10,
you can use the function Number.FromText and try/otherwise.
I've prepared some test data in Source and then the second step contains the solution you've asked for.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlSK1YlWMgKTxmAyEUwmgUkTMGkKJs2UYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), TakeFirstNumbers = Table.FirstN( Source, each try if Number.FromText([Column1]) <> Number.NaN then true else false otherwise false ) in TakeFirstNumbers
Thank You for answer my question,
The thing is that I have to erase all the rows since the word "TIME" appears in the column
That´s why I´m tryin to use this:
#"Keep only data until the word TIME appears in the column" = Table.FirstN(#"Column", 24)
But I don´t want to use number 24 as a condition because If I use a different file, the word "TIME" can appear in a differente Row and It´s going to create a wrong table
Hi @OscarSuarez10,
then:
#"Keep only data until the word TIME appears in the column" = Table.FirstN(#"Previous Step", each [yourColumnName] <> "TIME")
Thank You that solved all my problems!
