Using list in parameter in M language

Hi,

 

I have a list of orderid in my repot. then i have a anohter query pull data based on this list. here is my M language for using this list as in statement:

 

WHERE #(lf)     WEBORDERNUM IN(" & Text.Combine(List,",") & ")"

 

But the problem is if you look at the query , it does use the list value, but the format is not right:

 

WEBORDERNUM IN(16915633054,16913450137,16912482428)

 

Because in oracle databse, you should writer it as:

 

WEBORDERNUM IN('16915633054','16913450137','16912482428')

 

So can I add '' to all my order id?

    One method:

    To put single-quotes around each item in the list, change

     

    Text.Combine(List,",")

    to

     

    Text.Combine( List.Transform(List, each "'"&_&"'"), ",")
