Table.RemoveLastN

Returns a table with the last N rows removed.

Syntax​

Table.RemoveLastN(
    table as table,
    optional countOrCondition as any
) as table

Remarks​

Returns a table that does not contain the last countOrCondition rows of the table table. The number of rows removed depends on the optional parameter countOrCondition.

  • If countOrCondition is omitted only the last row is removed.
  • If countOrCondition is a number, that many rows (starting at the bottom) will be removed.
  • If countOrCondition is a condition, the rows that meet the condition will be removed until a row does not meet the condition.

        [CustomerID = 3, Name = "Paul", Phone = "543-7890"],
        [CustomerID = 4, Name = "Ringo", Phone = "232-1550"]
