it may more readable to rewrite the code like this

Table.AddColumn(PreviousStepName,"Result",(RowRecord)=>List.Select(RowRecord[Current EE],(Item_In_CurrentEE_List)=> List.Contains(RowRecord[Fillers],Item_In_CurrentEE_List,(Item_In_Fillers_List,Item_In_CurrentEE_List)=>Text.Contains(Item_In_CurrentEE_List,Item_In_Fillers_List))))

=Table.AddColumn(PreviousStepName,"Result",each List.Select([Current EE],each List.Contains([Fillers],_,(x,y)=>Text.Contains(y,x))))

Hello wdx223_Daniel,

1- Thank you very much,

2- Yes you solve it for me. It works.

Q- May you please explain for me in plain English what each Item ("[Filters]", "_", " "y" and "x" ) in List.Contains([Fillers],_, and in Text.Contains(y,x) refer to inside List.Select([Current EE], or to Outside the Table[Column] and to which Lists "Filters or "Current EE"?

 

I wanted to to give Kudos and Accept  as solution now, but I am afraid if I click Kudos and accept now, No one after that will read the Q and answer me to understand how it works, So I decided to wait a little bit.

Thank you wdx223_Daniel,
