How to remove characters from string
- 4 years ago
Hi Anonymous
If you want to remove [""] then you need to treat these as different characters if they appear in a string as shown in your image.
So do Replace values 3 times, once for each character.

Great.....Just a single statement is needed. No need to do replacement 3 times. In below, replace Source with your previous step and Data with your column name.
= Table.ReplaceValue(Source,each [Data],each Text.Remove([Data],{"[","]",""""}),Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Data"})
