Filter Columns based on columns' name

Hi all,

 

May I ask is there any way I could filter columns based on its name?

IDGroupCost 1Cost 2Price 1Price 2
1A-0.8--0.11
2B0.4--0.23
3-0.5-0.6-
4C-0.40.1-
5D0.60.20.540.57

 

In this case, is it possible to filter out "-" if columns' name contains "Price"?

 

I am trying this but still fail,

= Table.SelectRows(Source, each (List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(Source), each Text.Contains(_,"Price") <> "-")))

 

@Vera_33 if you could help?

= let col=List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(Source), each Text.Contains(_,"Price")) in Table.SelectRows(Source, each List.PositionOf(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,col)),"-")<0)

@wdx223_Daniel may I have a further question?

Is it possible to achieve a similar outcome:

When the Columns name contains "price" then Change "Type number"

 

Great thanks if you have any idea!

=Table.TransformColumnTypes(PreviousStep,List.Transform(List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(PreviousStep),each Text.Contains(_,"price")),each {_,type number}))
