Alternative to Table. SelectRows on Power Query

Hi,
I am new to this forum and I looking an alternative way to pull values from another table. I tried Table. SelectRows but it takes long time to generate the total when there is lots of data even after using Table.Buffered

Presumably you have a column or columns which determine whether you want the row or not.
You could try either filtering on that/those column(s), or Group By, or a Merge. [note re:
to generate the total
Group By will allow you to aggregate at the same time as 'selecting' the rows, whereas Merging won't]
More details required, ideally a workbook with a realistic representation of what you're trying to do.

Plain filtering on Hdr2 would seem to be the easiest [edit: oops, just realised this is SelectRows!], otherwise, starting with a table:

83691

You could Group By Hdr2, and your table is shown below:

83692

Here, you could filter Hdr2 for TRUE before expanding the grp column.

Instead, using Merge, set up a second table and merge:

83693

leaving you with:

83695
