I want to drop a row in my dataset by using a pattern. I have a dataset with zipcodes, some data does not contain zipcodes. I want to delete the rows without a zipcode. So I can make coordinates for this. What code can I use for this?
Example:
If the Row has not a pattern of 4 numbers, I want to delete the row.
Tried a lot but without succes.

Is there a way to move imported columns after calculated columns? I know I can create a new table by using Selectcolumns, but that'll just balloon the size of the PowerBI data file. Seems like such a miss on Microsoft's part
No there is no way to. I would avoid calculated columns and instead create the additional columns in Power Query which will eliminate your problem anyway.
Simply start all calculated columns with an underscore (judging by your username, you seem to be fond of unnecessary underscores)
Another option would be to put imported and calculated columns into different Display folders (such a miss on user's part)
I'm trying to clear the entire cell if it doesn't contain a given keyword.
I've managed to do this for one column:
Table.ReplaceValue(#"PrevStep",each [#"My Column"], each if Text.PositionOf([#"My Column"],"keyword")>-1 then [#"My Column"] else null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"My Column"})
The problem is I need to iterate/repeat that step for a number of columns... the number of columns may vary and column names also may be different every time. I can have all those column names put into a list but I'm not able to use it.
The solution I'm looking for may look like this
for each ColNam in MyColumnsList
Table.ReplaceValue(#"PrevStep",each [#"ColNam"], each if Text.PositionOf([#"ColNam"],"keyword")>-1 then [#"ColNam"] else null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,MyColumnsList)
next
but this is not the VBA code but Power Query M - and of course the problem is with #PrevStep as I would see it like a recursions... again... do not know how to process.
Is the path I follow correct or should it be done some other way
Thanks

Unpivot your columns to turn all the columns into two columns. Apply your replacement to the single value column then pivot it back into the original format
I need a FILTER formula to get an output of the cells within the range of the two labels matching the conditions from the two drop-down lists.
For example, given the below sheet, I need the output to be what's highlighted, given the two conditions from the drop-down lists:
I also need to be able to add more date rows, expanding downward.
I've tried using QUERY:
=TRANSPOSE(QUERY(Accounts!B2:F, "SELECT * WHERE B="""&B2&""" ",1))
This only gives me the row of contents (apple, carrot, cake, steak, soda).
Here you can find my solution:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cWBLLmJx6mTlYrvPRvRE_y9NpBOJj_ILBgXmoB9suv4/copy
Note that when you merge cells, the value is only in the top one or the leftmost one. So if you have multiple rows for each data, you should multiplicate these cells.
I make additional column for this - first date I just copy and below it I insert a formula: (in H5)
=if(isblank(A5),H4,A5) - it says - if cell in column A is empty, take value from above, but if you find something there, put it here. Then I copy this formula down the sheet.
Then it gets easier.
To filter with data validation you have to first find right column using formulas INDEX and MATCH and then filter it against data values in additional column.
Does it work for you?
I have a matrix report with 9 Row Groups and 1 Column Group (Months).
Instead of showing duplicate rows on the row groups, SSRS and Excel merge those fields. I would like them unmerged! I would like them to duplicate on my report.
I tried going to the parent group and grouping by every other field. This worked until I added two rows within the group, (which I need).
I guess you could also say that I really want my row groups to look like a table. If there's a better way to do that, I'm all ears!
enter image description here
Is it TYPE field that you need all the lines for?
The bracket to the left (under Row Groups) indicates that you are Grouping on something. Remove the Group Only (but not the rows and columns) so you are not grouping and all lines will be displayed.
How do I merge cells for specific rows in BIRT? Something similar to using colspan when creating a table in HTML. The data is extracted from a database and returns a fixed number of rows.
Specifically I want to convert a BIRT report that looks like this:
to this:
Thank you for your assistance.
I don't know if it is possible to do this within an onCreate event for the cells.
But depending on your use case, it may be sufficient to duplicate the detail row.
Keep the cells as is in the first detail row and merge them in the second row.
Determine a condition when to merge cells and when not.
Use this as an visibility expression for the first and second detail row like this:
First row: should_merge(...)
Second row: !should_merge(...)
