Hi,
I want to select all the columns starting with a certain name. In this case: alarm. There are 200 columns starting with this -> alarm[001], alarm[002] etc.
I now have:
Select * FROM table
where column_name LIKE 'alarm%'
It also isn't possible to say select alarm[001] , alarm[002] etc. Because the [ cause some kind of error. The error they give states that alarm can't be resolved. so it doens't take the [001] in account.
But that doesn't work. Anybody an idea?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey,
You can use the following Power M code to filter by rows beginning with "alarm".
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each Text.StartsWith([ColumnName], "alarm"))
Kind regards,
Alex

I created a small illustrative example
Please see attached file's query editor for steps
First determine the Columns to Select using
=List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type"),each Text.Contains(_,"alarm"))
Then we can use
= Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type",ColumnsToSelect)
