Delete a group of numbers

[I_ia]

Hi,

How can I delete a group of numbers. For example, the red ones (they are always like that 7 numbers - 1 number)

should be like this:

just for the sample data

= Table.AddColumn(PreviousStepName,"Custom",each Text.Combine(List.RemoveMatchingItems(Text.Split([textColumn]," "),{true},each if _ is logical then _ else Text.Length(_)=9 and Text.Remove(_,{"0".."9"})="-" and Text.At(_,7)="-")," "))

Hi @I_ia ,

Create a new blank query and paste the following code over the default code in Advanced Editor:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Hcs7DgMhDEXRrTxRB2mwgZl1pEqEKCgoLBSQYk8xu8+nvTq3FBdxvcUuBcUtBiLPrt6Ke/7i0G7gcBw7s8/wuHc1PP4gY4hM66K2YNLn67TRwHFDSJQpJb9/DzuXtTmXanO1fgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [textColumn = _t]),
    addSplitList = Table.AddColumn(Source, "splitList", each Text.Split([textColumn], " ")),
    addReplaceList = Table.AddColumn(addSplitList, "replaceList", each List.Transform([splitList], each if Text.Contains(_, "-") and Text.Length(_) = 9 then null else _)),
    addCombineList = Table.AddColumn(addReplaceList, "combineList", each Text.Combine([replaceList], " ")),
    remOthCols = Table.SelectColumns(addCombineList,{"textColumn", "combineList"})
in
    remOthCols

I've left the steps separate so it'd easier to follow what's going on, but this could easily be written into a single step.

This gives me the following ouput:
