    Hi,

     

    maybe this can help. Refer to your table in Source step.

     

    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    CLEAN = Table.ReplaceValue(Table.TransformColumns(Table.AddColumn(Source, "All ICD-10 Replaced", 
    each if Text.Contains([#"All ICD-10"], [#"ICD-10"])
        then Text.Replace([#"All ICD-10"], [#"ICD-10"], "")
        else [#"All ICD-10"]),
    {{"All ICD-10 Replaced", Text.Trim, type text}}),
     "  "," ",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"All ICD-10 Replaced"})
in
    CLEAN

This worked for a project for me. Is there a way to make it match if it begins with the data in the ICD-10 column and not the entire column? For instance the ICD-10 column, the data might be F0390.0 instead of just F0390 but you still want to remove it from the All ICD-10 column
