    Are you meaning that you have so many conditions for Text.StartsWith = "P" || "QM" || etc.?

     

    If so, then you should include those requirements in your question.

     

    Otherwise, you just need to add the logic from the last statment 

    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.StartsWith([#"As-is"], "P") then Text.RemoveRange([#"As-is"],7) else if Text.StartsWith([#"As-is"],"QM") then Text.RemoveRange([#"As-is"],7) else [#"As-is"])

This seems to work:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCnB0cg4wMHRUitWJVnIO9vcN8TcwAXMCAgKDIgwMfcGcQF8DCwuLEIgyxxAf5xAfA0Ol2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"As-is" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"As-is", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.StartsWith([#"As-is"], "P") then Text.RemoveRange([#"As-is"],7) else if Text.StartsWith([#"As-is"],"QM") then Text.RemoveRange([#"As-is"],7) else [#"As-is"])
in
    #"Added Custom"
