Hi,

I have the following table and my goal is to have to restrict the number of keywords per key to 3. For every key containing more than 3 keywords, I want to delete every keyword after the third one.
Keywords_Search_Klemens.xlsm
PQ
1KeyActualCategories
21IT-Strategie
32IT-Strategie
43IT-Strategie
54Vorgaben&Maßnahmen
65IT-Strategie
75IDV-Anwendung
85Informationssicherheit
95Notfallmanagement
106IT-Strategie
116Informationssicherheit
126Vorgaben&Maßnahmen
136RandomKeyword1
146RandomKeyword2
MappedSource2


I am preferably looking for a solution in power query as this table will be the output of a query. But a solution through an excel formula will work just fine.

Best regards and thank you,
Dag2
