Move data to next colum if it contains a value

[RalJans]

Hello,

I have a CSV file with 3 colums and the data is spread out across the three colums.

Is it possible to move the data to the Resource Group colum if it starts with MSC-?

Sort of, you are likely going to need 3 additional columns.

You would start with a column like:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.StartsWith([Column], "MSC") then [Column] else null)

You'll probably have to add some OR statements to it for your specific case. You will then need essentially the reverse for your other 2 columns so that they bring over the value if something does not start with MSC. Once all that is done, you remove your original 3 columns and rename your 3 remaining columns the original column names.
