Hi Anonymous ,
your formula won't work in a "Table.TransformColumnNames"-formula. You have to use Table.RenameColumns instead like so:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUTICYmMgNlGKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Agg = _t, Cluster1 = _t, Cluster2 = _t]), Custom1 = Table.RenameColumns( Source, List.Zip( { Table.ColumnNames(Source), List.Transform( List.ReplaceValue( List.FindText( Table.ColumnNames(Source), ""), "Cluster", "TC", Replacer.ReplaceText), each if Text.Contains(_,"TC") then Text.Replace("_", "_","TC " & Character.FromNumber(Number.FromText(Text.Middle(_,2))+64)) else _ ) } )) in Custom1
