in
  #"Split Column by Character Transition"

    How to use this code: Create a new Blank Query. Click on "Advanced Editor". Replace the code in the window with the code provided here. Click "Done". Once you examined the code, replace the Source step with your own source.

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?

Json.Document(
Binary.Decompress(
Binary.FromText(
"jY/NaoNQEEZfZdCtifNzr/eOu0RNI20TUUMI4iJQS6E0hTYU+vbVdidZdBbf6hw403VBtr0PAcUtkFTESWI9tKeqSEGdB6SYNGYT9FEXVKsTPJS7okkpGjUI2SDSmnA857xxiLe5CTDJCJuo3LVFXTQtrB7bFGgpMwVSjszCQnUH6wzqwy606hzYKWZKFWZV8WrN3KPJOWz/JFUiGIfhuP/1qDmSYfTiDew3m6Zob6d6FrE69pKSkP4Lmj0ly7k3xeV5XA9fw8fn8ATl5fkdqvP323C5QvbyGorhRIXVQn5NAU1MFDOyBH3/Aw==",
BinaryEncoding.Base64
),
Compression.Deflate
)
),
let
_t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true])
in
type table [Transaction_Comment = _t]
),

    My code will create a single column.

     

    "that stuff"  is just your sample data in a fancy encoding.

        no, all you need is 

         

         #"Added Custom4" = Table.AddColumn(
    Source,
    "Custom.4",
    each Text.Trim(
      Text.AfterDelimiter(Text.AfterDelimiter(Text.Upper([Transaction_Comment]), "CHK"), "#")
    )
  ),
  #"Split Column by Character Transition" = Table.SplitColumn(
    #"Added Custom4",
    "Custom.4",
    Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition(
      {"0" .. "9", "A" .. "Z", "-"},
      (c) => not List.Contains({"0" .. "9", "A" .. "Z", "-"}, c)
    ),
    {"CHK#"}
  )
in
  #"Split Column by Character Transition"

        assuming you have a Source step that has a [Transaction_Comment]  column.
