[benqpbi]

I have a column named task name which is incosistent but i want to add zero before my 1,2 and so on... how do i add in power query/ m-code so it is future proof

@benqpbi 

what's the expected output?

_PRODUCT_gg_SEQ01 or 01?

What if for those numbers are two digits, do you still want to add 0?

Hi @benqpbi 

Use Column from examples transformation in power query and provide some examples in the column highlited then power query will write M code automatically.

I can able to sort with the data you have provided

hey jay thanks just tried but it creates a if else statement which is not possible since when new data comes it might be wrong, any other solution if possible

Nope it will do the same transformation for all the new data as well you need to give the data correctly for couple of examples to make power query to understand.
