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

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
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Group = Table.Group(Source, {"Key"}, {{"All", each Table.FirstN(_, 3)}}),
    Result = Table.Combine(Group[All])
in
    Result
