Can someone provide me with the line to use in a Power Query to delete all rows that contain a specific value in column 1?

I was trying to repurpose the remove blank columns code with list.contains in place of list.isempty but I am not very familiar with the M language.

VBA Code:
List.IsEmpty(List.RemoveMatchingItems(Record.FieldValues(_), {"", null})))

I am thinking I need something along the lines of the following

VBA Code:
List.Contains(List.RemoveMatchingItems(Record.FieldValues(_), {"", null})))      ' No idea where I put the value I am looking to eliminate

If you use the Power Query user interface it would look more like this:-
Where [Exclusion Test] is the column / field name used to apply the condition.

Power Query:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([Exclusion Test] <> null and [Exclusion Test] <> "x"))
