Hi cerebro
Yes, you can use Text.BetweenDelimiters to extract just the 4 digits between the - -
= Text.Select(Text.BetweenDelimiters([Account], "-", "-"), {"0".."9"})Regards

Hi cerebro
If your Account in Source1 always contains only one 4 digit project code (or none), then you can extract it using this. No lookup to Source2 needed.
= Text.Select([Account], {"0".."9"})
If the Account in Source1 might also contain numbers that are not Project Codes, you could use this which does check against Source2
= if List.Contains(Source2[Project],Text.Select([Account], {"0".."9"})) then Text.Select([Account], {"0".."9"}) else null
