Table.RemoveLastN

Syntax

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

About

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"]
