Hi,
I'm sort of new to power query and while adding a new column I used the below function which works, however I wanted to ask if their was a way to also replace more than one value.
= [#"DestinationType"] & " | " & Text.Replace([#Destination Name], "Spend", "Facts")
Would need to be
= [#"DestinationType"] & " | " & Text.Replace([#Destination Name], "Spend" OR "App" OR "Card" , "Facts")
Is this possible to do in one step?

Hi @OsmanEmi
I suggest you to build a replacement table then try my M code. Currently, you will replace all words by the same word "Fact". This way will still work if you want to replace multiple words by different words.
My Sample:
Replacement Table:
Use M Code to add a custom column:
Text.Combine(
{
[Destination Type],
List.Accumulate(
List.Numbers(0,Table.RowCount(replacements)),
[Destination Name],
(state, current) =>
Text.Replace(state, replacements[Find]{current},
replacements[Replace]{current}))
},
" | " )
Result is as below.

Here's an alternative solution:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQrOz00tycjMS1cILkjNS1EwNDJWitWByDk6OcPZSfn5BQpJqakFCo4FBSiqnBOLULW5uLopxcYCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [DestinationType = _t, #"Destination Name" = _t]),
ConcatCol = Table.AddColumn(Source, "MyNewColumn",
each
[DestinationType] & " | " &
Text.Combine(
List.ReplaceMatchingItems(Text.Split([Destination Name], " "), {{"APP", "Facts"}, {"SPEND", "Facts"}, {"CARD", "Facts"}}, Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase),
" ")
)
in
ConcatCol
Hello there @OsmanEmi ! Try this and see if it works for your case:
= [#"DestinationType"] & " | " & Table.ReplaceValue([Your table name], each if Text.Contains([#Destination Name], {"Spend", "App", "Card"} then "Facts" else [Destination Name], Replacer.ReplaceValue, {"Destination Name"})
