Hi,
I'm trying to insert a few "dots" symbol to a column with a custom column, but i can only get one characte, this worksr:
CustomColumn
=Text.Insert(Text.From([Column]),2,".")
What if I want to add another dot after the fourth and sixth characters? I've tried a few things withous success, i don't know what's the right syntax, something like this maybe but i can't get it to work:
CustomColumn
=Text.Insert(Text.From([Column]),2,".",4,".",6,".")
CustomColumn
=Text.Insert(Text.From([Column]),2,4,6,".")
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi !
You should use the following Power Query (M) code to do your transformation for Custom column;
Text.Insert(Text.Insert(Text.Insert([Column1],2,"."),5,"."),8,".")
First replacement will be done on 2nd position, now your string has one more character in it, so to replace 4th character in orginal string you need to replace 5th position and similary for 6th caharacter in orignal string you need to replace 8th position

@mcflurry - Like this?
Text.Insert(
Text.Insert(
Text.Insert(
[Column1],
2,
"."
),
4,
"."
),
6,
"."
)
