#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"A", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Anew", each if Text.Middle([A],1,1)="-" then [A] else null),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Bnew", each if Text.Middle([A],0,2)="Mr" then [A] else null),
#"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Cnew", each if Text.Middle([A],2,1)=":" then [A] else null),
#"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Added Custom2",{"Anew", "Bnew"}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filled Down", each ([Cnew] <> null)),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"A"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
