I'm trying to pull a set of numbers after a delimiter using "_1" as a delimiter, but in some values in the data this delimiter shows up one time before the one that I want to pull from. How would I use an if statement to do something like below:
if delimiter("_1") > 0 then start at delimiter("_1") position 1 (second instance) else start at delimiter("_1") position 0 (first instance)
Appreciate any help, thanks ..read more

Hi,
Currently trying to pull some text out of another column in powerquery that has file names in it. The problem is these file names are not consistent and have multiple beginning 'codes' I need to look for to use as the starting point for extracting the text. An example of this is a file name contains "_35" so I would want to pull 8 characters after the "_", but it also contains "_" in other places in the file name, and other files may look like this " 35" instead of using "_". 35 is also...

Table1: Among many columns, I have a column with whole numbers and also text.
In PQ, I will do a Merge on the above table with another lookup table (Table2). It seems to work fine in PQ editor since I can expand the new column from Table2.
But when I try to Load To as a pivot table or Table, I get the error: [DataFormat.Error] We couldn't convert to Number.
It seems the error is caused by the column mentioned in Table1.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Perhaps there is something I'm...

Hi, Looking to find the most efficient way to automate report cleaning.
I currently have a macro in place via excel that does this for me, however i have heard many good things about powerBI and powerQuery.
The steps from when the report arrives to when its sent off cleaned and accurate never change. Only the data that's being cleaned changes.
For example.
Delete all rows containing 123 in column A
Delete all rows containing test in column A
Change all data in column X to FALSE where =...

Hi All
Newbie here.
I have a spreadsheet logging an asset collection project with the sites as the UID and date column headers with assets collected per week. This sheet links to another with the specific site data (size, people, location etc)

Any help would be very much appreciated.
I cannot...
