Power Query - how to handover column to be used with 'each'

Hello,

 

I have the following formula 

Output=Table.AddColumn(TextToChange,"Changed Text", each ReplacementFunction([List]))     //[List]=Column name to change

If I try to replace list by a variable and integrate this row to a function. But even if I change to 

 

Output=Table.AddColumn(TextToChange,"Changed Text", each ReplacementFunction(TextToChange[List]))     //[List]=Column name to change

I receive an error because type 'list' can't be converted to 'text'.

So actually I am not able to handover this with a function because I only know how to handover lists and tables.

 

Do you have any idea how I can solve this issue?

Hi

Let me draw your attention to your formula below
Output=Table.AddColumn(TextToChange,"Changed Text", each ReplacementFunction(TextToChange[List]))

ReplacementFunction([List]) function need a parameter of type text, but TextToChange[List] return type of list.

 

Best Regards

Maggie
