    Alexjaco2 Maybe this?

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("fc2xDYAwDATAVazUFO/Y2ImYgjrK/mvgIGiiQHey/P+tpYoiOfUtVDPLr3SSiVGF76CD3Dmszt851vFdedlirsuWeVPAVIB787Hx62zw0VJAZxwi0S8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Have = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Have", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.Combine(List.Select(Text.Split([Have], " "), each Text.Length(_) <> 3)))
in
    #"Added Custom"
