How to split by delimiter '-' in contiguous manner?

I have table :

 

CategoryJanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMayJuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember
A-B28875701782363300000000
C-D00117226416314304341836054123000
E,F,G00000035583008261326174813188
H-K00000000602120410112699
L00000000000380

 

While splitting column 'Category' by delimiter '-' I want that H-K should be split into H,I,J,K into different rows. How shall I do that?

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Here is one way, you can get the list, then expand to new rows. Paste all in the Advanced Editor via blank query

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WctR1UorViVZy1nUB0646bjruYJaHrjeY9lGKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Category = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Category", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each [a=Text.SplitAny([Category],"-,"),
b={List.Min(a)..List.Max(a)}][b])
in
    #"Added Custom"
