Hello all,

I'm digging into Excel a little deeper and introducing myself more to Power Query. What I am creating now is keyword search database for our custom CRM. Currently I pull our CRM data from a web query into an Excel Table. I have all that functioning correctly. What I want to do is if a certain cell (cell F4 or named "HOLD_STATUS") is equal to "No", then I want to filter out any position that's currently in "Hold". I'm able to do that statically (see code below), but I want to make that dynamic to the cell's value. I'm horrible at describing exactly what I'm looking for, so if there's any questions then feel free to ask. I appreciate your help!

Power Query:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Other Columns", each ([position] <> "Hold"))
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
What you are describing is a Parameter Query. MrE has a very good tutorial that will show you how this works. Click on the link below to watch.
