    List.Contains also plays nicely with query folding...and is executed on the server side for a DB connector.

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid
      @ExcelOffTheGrid  Рік тому

      Merging is a simple SQL join, so is more likely to fold than List.Contains.

    • @jeremynorbury
      @jeremynorbury Рік тому

      @@ExcelOffTheGrid List.contains certainly folds on SQL server and OData. The additional advantage is that you can combine a non- folding source for the list (like an excel query of a table) and the SQL continues to fold.

    A wonderful lesson!! Mark. Question: How should one deal with a list when the values are numeric? Or is there a way to have a numeric list? I had to change out my fact table to text so it would match the list and even work.

      For some reason I have not had this problem again, i.e., my list is pulling (filtering) values with no further problem. Must be some User error.

    Really interesting - thinking of ways we might use this to streamline our processing ... already worked out the merge approach. Another thought - would be good to adjust the top 3 to top n by passing a number to PQ and using a parameter/variable in the code.

    Hi Mark,
    That's a great explanation.
    It is possible to do the same filter when you want to filter records that start only with some chars?.
    ex : #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Replaced Value1", each Text.StartsWith([Territory], "PT_PH_SM_")),
    I have try but only work if I have the complet value.
    //#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Replaced Value1", each List.Contains(Din_Filter_Territory,[Territory])=true),
    Kind regards,
    Marco

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid

      Rather than List.Contains use Text.Contains:
      = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each Text.Contains([Item],"C"))
      You can use an optional value to ignore case too
      = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each Text.Contains([Item],"C", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))

    I have a query with 900k results and i know that there is a specific item, but It is not shown in Theo filter check/uncheck list... Why so?

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid
      @ExcelOffTheGrid  6 місяців тому +1

      Because Power Query only shows 1000 row preview of the data so that it can run efficiently.

    Somehow, when I attempt the merge it filters out everything in the table that is not in the filter list. Does the list have to contain the exact matches in the table and nothing more? My table is huge.
