Hi, I am trying to filter in Get & transform, using Text contains and text does not contain and I would like to base it on a table in Excel. How can I do this?
Thanks.

standard procedure:
- load table into PQ
- make columns which you want to use as text
- add conditional column(s)
Upload sample workbook with enough data to demonstrate your need (and desired output).
Text.Contains([Column], "string") is probably useful for your need.
It will return True when column row contains "string". False if not. You can then set filter on True/False for the calculated column.
Alternately, you can set up parameter to check against, or set up Text Filter on the column.

So with your sample... you want only items that match both condition of matching [Text contains] AND [Text does not contain] ?
I.E. Return only "goodbye" & "hallo"
Here's how I would do it.
1. Load both tables as connection only.
2. In Table1 (Greetings) add custom column
=Table2
3. Add another custom column with following calculation.
This will return...

4. Filter on [Custom.1] = True and then remove [Custom] & [Custom.1], load result to sheet.
