Table.Column function return list in curly braces but i want chenge this to square braces

Hi all!

My problem is to change the curly braces, when I want to use the Table.Column function, to square brackets. This is necessary for me because I want to make a curl request, but I need the values to be in square brackets.

Thanks!

Hi @Orkhan7 ,

 

Table.Column returns the column of data specified by column from the table table as a list.

 

If you want to add change the items as [xxx], please convert list to table firstly

And then add a new column:

"[" & [Column1] & "]"

You could use Text.Combine, something like 

"[" & Text.Combine(Table.Column( whatever ), ", ") & "]"
