remove Max values in an index column

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.

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
