I understand the syntax of Text.RemoveRange but I am not sure how to add this into M / Power Query.
Scenario: TableX has a column called "Departure", which is an ID that features a leading zero. I need to remove that leading zero. So instead of "09999", "02345", etc., I want "9999", "2345", etc..
I thought it may be preceded by something like a Table.Transformrows in M e.g.,
#"Drop Lead Zero" = Table.TransformRows(#"Changed Type", Text.RemoveRange([Departure], 0, 1))
But this (and many other attempts) does not work. So I guess I am struggling with where to position the function in M.
Your advice is appreciated!

Hi @PauSe ,
You don't want TransformRows, you want TransformColumns, something like this:
#"Drop Lead Zero" =
Table.TransformColumns(
#"Changed Type",
{
{ "Departure", each Text.RemoveRange(_, 0, 1) }
}
)
