How can i remove the row with highest order count in each shipment? For below data:

for example, for shipment # 37136 it should not show the row with order count 4

Let's say your last step was PriorStep. I would group by Shipment # column, and choose the Max Aggregation for the ORDER COUNT column. Name that step "Group" or whatever you want. Then you can join that table to PriorStep using a left anti join. So after grouping, 

 

= Table.Join(PriorStep, {"SHIPMENT #", "ORDER COUNT"}, Group, {"GROUPED SHIPMENT # COLUMN", "Max ORDER COUNT"}, JoinKind.LeftAnti)

 

Side note: using the "#" character in your column name is going to get you into trouble some day, because somehow it'll get parsed as an escape character and mess up your quotes.

What if the Shipment # has no duplicate?

Table.SelectRows(prevStep, (x)=>x[orderCount]<>List.Max(Table.SelectRows(prevStep, (y)=> x[shipment]=y[shipment])[orderCount]))

This didn't work : (

 @smpa01 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSAeJYHQjLCM4yBrOMgCxLOMvQQCk2FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [shipment = _t, orderCount = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"shipment", Int64.Type}, {"orderCount", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", (x)=>x[orderCount]<>List.Max(Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", (y)=> x[shipment]=y[shipment])[orderCount]))
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

 

@kaym try the above
