Replacing column name text in each column
Hi,
I would like to remove the column name text if it is found in each column as follows.
Any idea how this can be achieved in Power Query?
Many thanks.
You can try this in new blank query.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQquLDaMj0wthjCNEExjMDNWJ1rJiDhlxkABiDCCBImbQNjxICMQTCME0xiszJQIW2IB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Sys1 = _t, Sys2 = _t, Sys3 = _t]), Custom1 = let l=Table.ToColumns(Source), cols=Table.ColumnNames(Source), i= List.Positions(cols), new= List.Transform (i, each List.ReplaceValue( l{_}, cols{_}&"_","", Replacer.ReplaceText) ) in Table.FromColumns(new, cols) in Custom1Start:
End:

You can either right-click on the column, select Replace Value and Enter "Sys1_" with blank
Or, Under Transform Tab, Click Extract and select Text After Delimiter@jshwong
