I must have missed something in the formula that it's returning an error. Also, the result only returned for "Internal" even though I had values that include a text in the description.

Hi, just add a " " en each number
if List.ContainsAny(Text.ToList([TEXTFIELD]), {"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0"}) then "EXTERNAL" else "INTERNAL"- mdrammeh9 years agoHelper III
It worked perfect except the error message. The column with the values also had blank rows that was not being picked up by the formula. Is there a workaround?

The formula works also with Blank Rows
I'll try first to made a Trim and Clean to the Column to delete other characters.

Sounds good. one more question. What if I want to create an exception to the rule by picking up a text description from the list.
