HI @sleepingdog, what about this?
enter TextToReplace
Output
let
Source = #table(type table[Value=text], {{"Anything"}, {"Something else"}, {"Another text abc"}}),
TextToReplace = {"Anything", "text"},
R = [ a = List.Transform(TextToReplace, Text.Trim),
b = Record.FromList(List.Transform(a, each _ & "⁺"), a)
][b],
StepBack = Source,
Ad_Replaced = Table.AddColumn(StepBack, "Replaced", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(Text.Split([Value], " "), (x)=> Record.FieldOrDefault(R, x, x)), " "), type text)
in
Ad_Replaced

Thanks. Your solution does work. Staying with your example, assume the starting value is "Anything" rather then "Anything+". How would you replace "Anything" with "Anything+" (+ is a superscript)?
Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","Anything+", "Anything" & Character.FromNumber(0x207A),Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Value"})
Pls try
let
Source = "Anything",
tab= #table(1, {{Source}}),
AddCol = Table.AddColumn(tab, "to", each [Column1]&"⁺")
in
AddCol
