M-Code Filter other solution?

Dear Enterprise Team,

I need advice and small help, please.

I build my report that had a lot of steps applied in data transformations when I load new data I notice that I don’t receive the correct results due to one of the step applied steps:

In the applied steps I selected Acc Code and filter the code that does not equal to * or 2551-4110 and then I have select Reference column to only filter where value = null or NonRecovTax.

Later on, I noticed that the formula applied the rest of the m code automatically for “reference column” and if I load new data the end results will not be the same, as in the new data the reference can be unique or duplicate/ repeated values text, etc but since the m-code remembers only the first source of data the row filter using the applied steps for the first source.

In order to sort this use, I could create an custom column with if statements
If account <> * or account<> 2551-4110 and reference null or reference = nonrecovertax give me 1 else 0. Then I could filter by a new custom column which should always retain the correct results if I would load a new data source.

My question is there any other solution such as the m-code filter? to ensure the m-code will filter always the data if ([Acct Code] <> “*” and [Acct Code] <> “2551-4110”) and ([Reference] = null or [Reference] = “:NonRecovTax”) ?

As I mentioned the reference column will aways contain unique or different values/texts and I just need to focus on the data that contains reference null or “:NonRecovTax”

Table.SelectRows(#“Removed Columns1”, each ([Acct Code] <> “*” and [Acct Code] <> “2551-4110”) and ([Reference] = null or [Reference] = “:NonRecovTax”) and ([Notes] <> null and [Notes] <> “”":BB sebdk14 /144 INTERNAL CUSTOMER TRANSFER""" and [Notes] <> “:BB sebdk14 /153 PostNord Group AB” and [Notes] <> “Affaldshåndtering Q1 2020” and [Notes] <> “Affaldshåndtering Q2 2020” and [Notes] <> “CBRE PM fee Q1 2020” and [Notes] <> “DHL Aviation (t0037875)” and [Notes] <> “Dobbelt betaling af Nyrup Hansen - Aconto 02 ifølge bilag” and [Notes] <> “Grøntpleje Q1 2020” and [Notes] <> “Grøntpleje Q2 2020” and [Notes] <> “Intercompany overførsel vedr.

Hi Matty,

I would suggest creating and using List filters… let me explain that with an example.

First create the lists, items to exclude

and another list with items to include
image

Then implementing both filters would look something like this.

Here’s a sample in XLSX and PBIX
List filters.xlsx (165.6 KB) List filters.pbix (15.1 KB)

I hope this is helpful.
