Helper IIConvert a Pattern of Bad Data to Null
Hi everyone. I have a column contains a bunch of bad entries such as "000000", "1111", "00000000000", "2222222" etc. Basically, it's a string with repetitive digits, and length of the string is not specific. How can I efficiently convert this kind of pattern to nulls in Power Query? Thank you!
