Table.RemoveMatchingRows with multiple criteria

Hello All,

 

Trying to get RemoveMatchingRows to work:

Table.RemoveMatchingRows(table as table, rows as list, optional equationCriteria as any) as table

 

I have a table of general ledger data that has the following columns:

 

Account #, Cost Center, Year, Company, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

 

I want to remove rows where each column January - December = 0.  I've done this another way (did a keep rows where each does not equal 0 OR next row does not equal 0, etc.), could've also created a column that takes the absolute value of each column, but I would like to figure out how to use the Table.RemoveMatchingRows.

 

I tried this equation:

 

Table.RemoveMatchingRows(#"Calculated Text Length",{[January = 0], [February = 0], [March = 0], [April = 0], [May = 0], [June = 0], [July = 0], [August = 0], [September = 0], [October = 0], [November = 0], [December = 0]})

 

Is it not working because I don't have the "optional equation criteria"?  I tried just Table.RemoveMatchingRows(#"Calculated Text Length",{[January = 0]}, "January" and that filtered out rows, but my original did not filter out any.

I don't think you need any optional equation in this case.

Try

Table.RemoveMatchingRows(#"Calculated Text Length",{[January = 0, February = 0, March = 0, April = 0, May = 0, June = 0, July = 0, August = 0, September = 0, October = 0, November = 0, December = 0]})
