let
Fruits = {"apple", "orange", "grape", "pear", "watermelon"},
Source = Table.FromRows(
Json.Document(
Binary.Decompress(
Binary.FromText(
"TYw7CoAwEAWvEra28XcA9RjBIuAjTX6sCcHbu/7AYpoZGK2ppYYmgbEpk5IDrY2mTswsWAbCz/fiFmGvQFaRTbBPGL4QCysHH8Otx/d+FO8PVU0Ge7grric=",
BinaryEncoding.Base64
),
Compression.Deflate
)
),
let
_t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true])
in
type table [invoice = _t, brand = _t, #"Flavour Description" = _t]
),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(
Source,
"Fruit",
each List.Min({List.Count(List.Intersect({Text.Split([Flavour Description], " "), Fruits})), 1}),
Int64.Type
)
in
#"Added Custom"

thanks for your answer. I tried to replace source - table. My master table has previous ETL steps in advanced query and fruit is an excel loaded to the query. How to make changes above to fit with my real model? thanks for your suggestions.
