Helper IIGet the Text between delimitters from two columnsc M query
Is it possible to get the text between delimitters based from two columns?
I have this attempt code as an example:
Text.BetweenDelimiters(([Try1] and [Try2]), "try_", "_code")
Basically, I have two collumns which contains countless rows of either try_(get)_code and try2_(get)_code, and I only want to get the value of "(get)" from those in between try and code. Do note that (get) may vary and is just an example. The code above doesn't work. Any ideas?
You can just used the extact feature in query editor.

Hi,
If you want, you can do it in edit query.
Create a blank query any type in this query in advanced editor so you can see the logic.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKimqjE8sTgEjJR0lQyPj+OT8lFSlWB2IHFDA0AgoYW5hboEqA9RibAKUychKz8DQAxTPz8zPRBVPKk5JMwTKmJqYQSViAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Try1 = _t, Try2 = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Try1", type text}, {"Try2", type text}}),
#"Inserted Merged Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Merged", each Text.Combine({[Try1], [Try2]}, ""), type text),
#"Extracted Text Between Delimiters" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Inserted Merged Column", {{"Merged", each Text.BetweenDelimiters(_, "_", "_"), type text}})
in
#"Extracted Text Between Delimiters"/Adam
