Hi everyone,
I'm trying to remove all text between < and > including the carrots from a column in Query Editor.
I thought about splitting the column with the ? being the delimiter, then creating a column with "?", and then concatenating but the first example wants shows that there are cells with styling before the question mark.
Thanks in advance!
Here are two examples:
Click <b>YES/b> if you watched the Super Bowl?
Did you watch the Super Bowl?<span style="font-size:14px !important; display: block;">Click YES if you did.</span>
<div id="disclaimer-1">You may be eligible for a free high five if you watched the Super Bowl.</div>
<style type="text/css" id="customCSS">
.Qid1 .answers{
position: relative;
top: -130px;
}
.Qid1 #disclaimer-54269{
position: relative;
top: 175px;
display: block;
width: 100%;
margin: auto;
text-align: justify;
font-size: 10px;
line-height: 16px;
color: #999;
}
@media all and (min-width: 600px){
.Qid1 .answers{
top: -120px;
}
.Qid1 #disclaimer-54269{
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 20px;
}
}
@media all and (min-width: 601px){
.Qid1 .answers{
top: -75px;
}
.Qid1 #disclaimer-54269{
top: 175px;
float: none;
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
}
@media all and (min-width: 900px){
.Qid1 #disclaimer-54269{
top: 85px;
}
}
</style>

Hello my friend!
I´m having the same issue. Did You get a solution?
Thanks.
Dan
Thank so much for transforming into a proper function!
I just have some beginner level follow-up questions on how to implement the M script.
The data file I'm using is calle "SurveyResponses_Age&Vertical"
Should I be replacing Source = Text.From(HTML) to Source = Text.From(SurveyResponses_Age&Vertical) ?
Is it best to use the Advanced Editor, and if so, how what's the proper syntax for that?
Thanks!
