The following:
= Table.TransformColumns(#"Replaced Value1", {{"Location", each if Text.StartsWith([Location], "(") then Text.AfterDelimiter(_, ") ") else false, type text}})
results in this error:
"Expression.Error: We cannot apply field access to the type Text."
I cobbled this language together by using the language resulting from using the UI in the Power Query Editor. In the screenshot below, there is some data that begins with a left paranthesis. If data like that is identified, I want everything after the right paranthesis returned. To keep it simple for testing purposes, I am asking that it returns "false" if it doesn't begin with a left paranthesis.
My ultimate goal would be that if it doesn't begin with a left paranthesis, that the data doesn't get transformed at all. It just stays as-is.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Just replace [Location] with underscore ("_") and you should be good to go:
= Table.TransformColumns(#"Replaced Value1", {{"Location", each if Text.StartsWith(_, "(") then Text.AfterDelimiter(_, ") ") else false, type text}})
