Power Query only load filtered rows
In addition. Not repeat in Power Query exactly the same set of filters as in Excel table you may add helper column to the Table as
=(AGGREGATE(3,5,[@A])=1)+0there [A] is any column within the table assuming it has no blank values. Similar could be for the range. Formula returns 1 for visible rows and 0 for hided ones.
Within the PowerQuery as first steps filter result on zero for this column and remove it. That shall work for any filter applied in Excel sheet.
SergeiBaklan Thank you for this - a really neat solution - has helped me enormously solve a problem
I'm not an author, it's known for a long while. In any case glad it helped.
- Love this! I can now get rid of some fiddly VBA code which copies selected table records across to a new table.
- Devious. I must study that AGGREGATE function more!
- Back in the day that didn't work because filtering did not necessarily trigger a calculation
A good idea ... I´m going to try it. A problem could be that the filtered table is already a PQ table. So if I refresh the table the help column could disappear. But I´ve to test it.
Thanks for helping
If you add helper column to the table returned by PQ such column won't disappear but it isn't in sync with the table. Not very important in this case since we use any value in current row.
But I didn't catch how entire model works. You have some source data, transform it by Power Query and return the table to the sheet. Apply filtering to the resulting Table, query now this table and return result into one more table. Like this?
absolutely correct.
