keep only letters and numbers in column

‎09-18-2024 12:56 AM

Hi, is there a way to remove only punctuations (and/or spaces) while keeping numbers and values in a column? 

 

It would be great if i can do this in one step rather than removing each type of punctuation one by one.

 

Thanks in advance!

you can try this in PQ

 

=Text.Select([Column1],{"a".."z","A".."Z","0".."9"})
