I'm trying to replace values in a single text column that begin with a specifc character. Something like
Table.ReplaceValue(#"Merged Columns","3%",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column2"}), but I can't figure out the correct syntax.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @brycedwhite ,
According to your description, I create a sample.
In my understanding, if the cell begin with 3% then replace the cell to null. Here's my solution:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclSK1YlWMlZ1AtPOYNLFWBUqqhQbCwA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column2 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column2", type text}}),
#"New" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",each [Column2], each if Text.StartsWith(Text.From([Column2]),"3%") then null else [Column2],Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column2"})
in
#"New"
Get the correct result.
I attach my sample below for reference.

Might be easier to use the Table.TransformColumns function:
= Table.TransformColumns(#"Merged Columns",{"Column2", each if Text.StartsWith(_,"3%")
then null else _})
OR
#"Starts with" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Merged Columns",{"Column2", each if Text.StartsWith(_,"3%")
then Text.ReplaceRange(_,0,2,"") else _})
