I am splitting a column from sharepoint with different directories, some of these directories are text values and some are only number i.e like year 2018, i am only interested in the numbers, ie year - how can i filter out all text values or only select all the numerical values? is this possible? I know how to do it manually by unticking what i dont want, however this is for future proofing.

Hi @vanessafvg
->
Creates a table with three rows. The first row's data type is number. The second and third rows are both text.
Then creates two new columns showing if each row is a text or number type. The first column checks the data type.
Code in Advanced Editor
let
Source = Table.FromRecords({[A=2017],[A="b"],[A="a"]}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Type", each
let
TypeLookup = (inputType as type) as text =>
Table.FromRecords(
{
[Type=type text, Value="Text"],
[Type=type number, Value="Number"]
}
){[Type=inputType]}[Value]
in
TypeLookup(Value.Type([A]))
),
textvalue=Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom",each[Type]="Text")
in
textvalue

Hi @vanessafvg
let CharsToRemove = List.Transform({33..45,47,58..126}, each Character.FromNumber(_)), Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\maggiel\Desktop\PR4.0\4.26\test out.xlsx"), null, true), Table1_Table = Source{[Item="Table1",Kind="Table"]}[Data], #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Table1_Table,{{"Column1", type text}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Result", each Text.Remove([Column1],CharsToRemove)) in #"Added Custom"
Text.Remove(text as nullable text,removeChars as any)
CharsToRemove = List.Transform({33..45,47,58..126}, each Character.FromNumber(_))
@v-juanli-msft thanks so much for that but what i meant was filtering out the rows that have text value as opposed to remove text values from columns if you know what i mean?
