    let
  Source = Table.FromRows(
    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]
  ),
  #"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"

    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.

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.

i copied the code into the advanced editor and once it runs, I get enclosed error. i don't follow on the error since the column "transaction_comment" is in my source file. what am i doing wrong?

    check for extra spaces after the column name.  You may also have to escape the underscore as [#"Transaction_Comment"]

      i dont see any extra spaces after the column name and the name of the column does have an underscore.
