Hi @Ranga_prasad ,

Could you provide the Expected output for the Input data provided?

Also explain a bit more as to what do you want to perform on that data.

Hi @Ranga_prasad,

First try to get the row index where the column2 has “d” in it.

yourDataTable.AsEnumerable().[Select](Function(row) row.Field(Of String)("Column2")).ToList().FindIndex(Function(col) col = "d")

Using this index you can use Linq’s Skip and Take function to get the rows before this index

yourDataTable.AsEnumerable().Skip(0).Take(intIndexIdentified).CopyToDataTable()

Hi,

Can you try the following expression?

dt = dt.AsEnumerable.Take(dt.AsEnumerable.Select(Function(r,i) if(r("Column2").ToString="d",i,-1)).Max()+1).CopyToDataTable()

Column1 column2 column3
a b c
b b a
c b d

in this way i need output.

dtData.asEnumerable.TakeWhile(Function (x) Not x(1).toString.Trim.ToUpper.Equals("D")).CopyToDataTable

in case of we would also expect empty results then use toList like:

Result | List(Of DataRow) =
dtData.asEnumerable.TakeWhile(Function (x) Not x(1).toString.Trim.ToUpper.Equals(“D”)).toList

and evaluate on the Result.Count if CopyToDataTable can be executed or not

Hi Sarathi ,

Your linq query is working fine,
but i have to skip all the data after “d” in column2.
can you help me out of this.
o/p: Column1 column2 column3
a b c
b b a
c b d
Thanks & regards,
Ranga.

@Ranga_prasad,

You have to get the index using my first Linq Query into a variable named “intIndexIdentified” and use the second linq query to get the rows before the row which has “d” in column2.
