I have used custom column >> TextAfterdelimiter

it is showing as error >> cannot convert number to text

I want to remove "C" from the column

  • Hi,

    Add a Custom Column with this formula:

    if Text.Start(Text.From([Column1]), 1) = "C" then
         Replacer.ReplaceText([Column1], "C", "")
    else
         [Column1]

    Regards

  • There are many ways to accomplish this. One way is

    = Text.Replace(Text.From([Data]),"C","")

    This will look like this in Advanced Editor where you can make it type number

    = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Text.Replace(Text.From([Data]),"C",""), type number)

     

    You can also use Table.ReplaceValue

    Table.ReplaceValue(Source,each [Data],each Text.Replace(Text.From([Data]),"C",""),Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Data"})
