I'm able to dynamically rename a series of columns using List.Zip to zip together two columns from another table. The same table also contains the data type that should be applied in Power Query to the column (text, number, etc).
Is there a way I can do something similiar with Table.TransformColumnTypes? Nothing was jumping out to me as to how I could make the syntax work.
This is what the table looks like with the column data:
| column.ID | name | pq.datatype |
| 2020 | Name1 | Text.Type |
| 1011 | Name2 | Int64.Type |
| 1212 | Name3 | Decimal.Type |

=Table.TransformColumnTypes(YourTable,Table.ToList(YourTypeTable,each {_{1},Expression.Evaluate(_{2},#shared)}))
=Table.TransformColumnTypes(YourTable,Table.ToList(YourTypeTable,each {_{1},Expression.Evaluate(_{2},#shared)}))
