    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Maybe not the tidiest solution, but if you always have the same string format:

    Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Column_name", each Text.BeforeDelimiter(_, "Stage ") & "Stage " & Number.ToText(Number.FromText(Text.AfterDelimiter(_, "Stage ")), "0#"), type text}})

    JB

The solution below is similar to your answer jborro. Text.PadStart might offer the clean that you are looking for.

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Custom", each Text.BeforeDelimiter([Column_name], "Stage ")
& "Stage " &
Text.PadStart(Text.AfterDelimiter([Column_name], "Stage "),2,"0"))
