Hi, mba ;
You could use split in power query.
1. add conditional column,
2.split it.
The final output is shown below:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKs7PTS1JrShRQDAO78gpU0gqqszJKS1QwJBXitWJVkpMSlaKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [name = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"name", type text}}), #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([name], "bryllup") then "True" else "Flase"), #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Added Conditional Column", "name", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("bryllup", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"name.1", "name.2"}), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"name.1", type text}, {"name.2", type text}}) in #"Changed Type1"Best Regards,

Thank you for your answer.
I appreciate your help. Nevertheless, how would I separate it so that I could look for rows that has some leading text with bryllup like "xxxbryllup" and other with trailing text: "bryllupxxx". I don't mean to just spot the word "bryllup", but to inspect if it has some leading/trailing characters next to it 🙂
