Combine 4 M-Codes into 1
i have 4 different m-codes all achiving the same result just with slight;y different "lookup" values (see bottom of message) and would like to combine them all into one m-code if possible.
m-code #1
let
after_prefix = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "CHK#"),
remove_digits = Text.Remove(after_prefix, {"0".."9", "A".."Z"}),
delimiter = Text.Start(remove_digits, 1),
trim_start = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "CHK#"),
prod_num = Text.BeforeDelimiter(trim_start, delimiter),
result = if delimiter = ""
then trim_start
else " " & prod_num
in result
m-code 2
let
after_prefix = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "CHK# "),
remove_digits = Text.Remove(after_prefix, {"0".."9", "A".."Z", "-"}),
delimiter = Text.Start(remove_digits, 1),
trim_start = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "CHK# "),
prod_num = Text.BeforeDelimiter(trim_start, delimiter),
result = if delimiter = ""
then trim_start
else " " & prod_num
in result
m-code 3
let
after_prefix = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "CHK #"),
remove_digits = Text.Remove(after_prefix, {"0".."9", "A".."Z"}),
delimiter = Text.Start(remove_digits, 1),
trim_start = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "CHK #"),
prod_num = Text.BeforeDelimiter(trim_start, delimiter),
result = if delimiter = ""
then trim_start
else " " & prod_num
in result
m-code 4
let
after_prefix = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "Chk#"),
remove_digits = Text.Remove(after_prefix, {"0".."9", "A".."Z"}),
delimiter = Text.Start(remove_digits, 1),
trim_start = Text.AfterDelimiter([Transaction_Comment], "Chk#"),
prod_num = Text.BeforeDelimiter(trim_start, delimiter),
result = if delimiter = ""
then trim_start
else " " & prod_num
in result

I would first replace "CHK #" with "CHK#", and then you should be able to use your M code #2 for all scenarios.
thank you. how many columns will your code create? i was trying to avoid spliting the text. all i want is just to extract the check number, which can contain number, letters and - , plus be of variable length.
also, what is all this stuff?
