Search and Replace
Hi - I have data we import daily and the name and amount of columns varies from day to day. I needed to do a dynamic replacement of text that dosent rely on column names being the same
This works
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(ReplacedFailedWith,"Passed","100",Replacer.ReplaceValue,(Table.ColumnNames(#"ReplacedFailedWith")))
This is doing the same thing but i need to replace % with "" - this line seems to get ignored.
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(ReplacedFailedWith,"%","",Replacer.ReplaceValue,(Table.ColumnNames(#"ReplacedFailedWith")))
if i use this command
#"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value","%","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Name of column 1", "name of column 2", "Name of Column 3"....... }) it works ok but i dont know how many columns there will be and dont know what they are called.

Does the ignored command work if you use Replacer.ReplaceText like in your last command?
