Power Query - Nested table - List.PositionOf - Find substring

This line of M code works perfectly...

RowIndexOfCashFlow = Table.AddColumn(AddTableWithIndex, "Row Index of Cash Flow", each List.PositionOf([Data][Column3], "Cash Flow Analysis - Checking *7114:", Occurrence.First))

...but I would like to search for the substring "Cash Flow" and not the entire text. What do I need to do in order to accomplish that?

  • You can use the 4th argument:

    List.PositionOf(Source, "Cash Flow", Occurrence.First, (x,y)=>Text.Contains(x,y))

    If you use Occurrence.All, it will return a list of positions.
