Hello everyone,
I wish to extract specific values in a column to a new column. The rule is that the values need to start with 75 or 76 and can have maximum of 10 digits. Examples below should make it clear.

Try this custom column in Power Query:
if Text.PositionOf([Input], "75") <> - 1 then
Text.Middle([Input], Text.PositionOf([Input], "75"), 10)
else if Text.PositionOf([Input], "76") <> - 1 then
Text.Middle([Input], Text.PositionOf([Input], "76"), 10)
else
null
