I want to check whether my list (column 1-3) contains the specified special characters (List). I added custom column with the M code below, somehow it returns False but you can clearly see there is special characters in the strings.
Thanks for help.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Irisohyama6 ,
Please add a column by using:
[
comb=[Column1]&[Column2]&[Column3],
f=List.ContainsAny(Text.ToList(comb) ,ASCII_List)
][f]

Hi @Irisohyama6 ,
Sorry, am stumped. Think it will be changing the column to a list. However let us call on the m code gurus @ImkeF and @KenPuls
Good Luck!
