    NewStep=let fx=(t)=>let a=Text.Split(Text.From(t)??"","-") in List.Count(a)=3 and List.AllTrue(List.Transform(a,each _<>"" and Text.Remove(_,{"0".."9"})="")) in Table.FromColumns(List.Zip(List.Accumulate(Table.ToRows(PreviousStepName),{{},{}},(x,y)=>{x{0}&List.Zip(List.Select(List.Zip({x{1},y}),each fx(_{1}))),y}){0}))
