I am looking to selectively import a large CSV file into Excel with Power Query. Basically, I want to import by filtering the column "Last_Name" where the first character starts with the letters A through M. I see the option for "begins with" under Text Filters, but how do I specify the range "A" through "M". Below is the M code it is showing for filtering by first letter A..

Code:
 #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each Text.StartsWith([Last_Name], "A"))
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Code:
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each Text.Upper(Text.Start([Last_Name], 1)) <= "M")
