    Adding a column that nullifies cells when something is entered in it.

    Hey guys, appreciate the help. What I need is a formula in the AG column in the Guest_Info sheet that allows for me to put in a "E". When this "E" is entered in that cell it somehow nullifies the dates that these guests stayed in this row and doesn't send them to the query. These dates are carried over to a query that I have to do a specific count on how many days each guest stays. This "E" would be used for dates that aren't counted against guests. Or I could even put this "E" in there to not count members names since they have full time access anyways. Does this make sense? Here is the workbook. Let me know if I can elaborate further. Again, thank you so much!

    Your sample workbook does not have any queries or any VBA code to extract data. I am not sure, therefore, what it is you need help with.

    Mmm, Power Query is not my strong suit.

    For the benefit of others looking at this thread, the query is:

    Sure it's very straightforward, but not for me.

    I will seek help.

    It appears you can just filter out E values at the start of the query:

    It seems as if it just adds another space with the query as E in the name. It doesn't filter out the row. Please tell me if I am doing something wrong. Thank you!

    Here you go - I've removed your attempt at the filter and added a new one at the end. Is it what you want?

    On reflection, I think I may have got the wrong end of the stick - apologies!

    No worries- yeah it seems that it doesn't filter all the way through when I type an E in there. Ideally the dates would be nullified or even disappear from the query. Let me know if that makes sense! Thank you.

    You should have just copied and pasted the entire code (though I should have highlighted the change in the next row too really!). Your version ignored the filtered rows step in the next step. See attached.
