I was trying to create a custom column in power query (a yes/no column is fine) that if any of the values in the row contains *00:00, the FE Yes/No column would be "No, if not then "Yes" see below data example and desired result in last column

Hi @jcastr02 ,
Please try:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if List.ContainsAny({Record.Field(_, "FE Sat Open"), Record.Field(_, "FE Sat Close")}, {"*00:00"}) then "Yes" else "No")
Best Regards,

Create a new step by clicking FX button and then paste that code in Editor, what you're doing is pasting the code in a custom column.
Hi @jcastr02 ,
I've made a test for yor reference:
if List.ContainsAny(Record.FieldValues(_), {"*00:00"}) then "Yes" else "No"

Apologies, I should have clarified - what if I Only wanted to check within this table for specific columns, such as FE Sat Open and FE Sat Close (as example) - how could I tailor to list out the specific columns?

Hello @Anonymous Thanks so much. I tried to enter this , however getting different answers when the values are the same in the rows. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Just copy and past the following code into the Advance editor.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("zZSxDoMwDET/JSNisI1zsfmI7hVi7Nyh/y+VEiK1ZUXgKfENyctFd9OUBC6pTx3RSHTV5vZMc7+wFHAUloE1x2Gxjy9WRZG6luPGv5Pvj1e9V697+s4DVYRhgfky+eYa/3p6/Nj+Q4XDZFWzehiWAovCkjlOn4JKHBb2MN2ODF3lrfe6VnxnKi3UsIG/Iq9jgz1TWWHmNw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Location number" = _t, #"FE Sun Open" = _t, #"FE Sun Close" = _t, #"FE Mon Open" = _t, #"FE Mon Close" = _t, #"FE Tue Open" = _t, #"FE Tue Close" = _t, #"FE Wed Open" = _t, #"FE Wed Close" = _t, #"FE Thu Open" = _t, #"FE Thu Close" = _t, #"FE Fri Open" = _t, #"FE Fri Close" = _t, #"FE Sat Open" = _t, #"FE Sat Close" = _t, #"FE Yes/No" = _t]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Yes/No", each if Text.Contains(Text.Combine(List.Transform(Record.ToList(_),Text.From),"|"),"*00:00") then "No" else "Yes")
in
#"Added Custom"
