Let's explore how the Power Query List function helps to clean the data - Partial Search and Replace

In this video, we will learn how to use List.PositionOf function by writing our own comparer logic for data cleaning/transformation. We will match the partial value of a column and replace it with the correct value.
 
The same can be achieved by many other methods but the purpose of this video is to showcase how to create your own comparer function.
