Dynamic replace value based on columns name

Hi, I would like to ask, in PQ, is there any way I could replace the value based on columns' name?

IDGroupCost 1Cost 2Price 1Price 2
1A-0.8--0.11
2B0.4--0.23
3-0.5-0.6-
4C-0.40.1-
5D0.60.20.540.57


Like in this case, I would like to replace "-" with 0, but only apply to columns' name started with "Cost" & "Price"

 

Appreciated if any solutions.

Table.ReplaceValue(yourPreviousStep,"-",0,Replacer.ReplaceValue, List.Select( Table.ColumnNames( yourPreviousStep), each Text.Contains(_,"Cost") or Text.Contains(_,"Price")))
