Hi there, I am searching advice how can I find column name by the header where I know the header partially.
For example:
I have one column header called "Calculation XXX Jan", and on some point in time later there will be new column added "Calculation XXX Feb" and so on.... there can be a lot other tables with different names added in between so they are not next to each other or even the last one.
How can I find that last column name knowing that only "Calculation XXX" is common header name string ? Sorry if this is obvious but couldn't find the answer also unpivot didn't work for me. Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Use this to find last column names starting with "Calculation XXX"
= List.Last(List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(Source),(x)=>Text.StartsWith(x,"Calculation XXX")))
Use this to find last column names starting with "Calculation XXX"
= List.Last(List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(Source),(x)=>Text.StartsWith(x,"Calculation XXX")))
