bulk find and replace

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone

I want to bulk remove the delimiters for all the columns containing a certain name. In this case: Price. There are 200 columns containing this -> sales price, purchasing price... etc. I want to select all the columns containing "price" and remove all the () in those columns. Any idea how can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Something like

Table.TransformColumns(PreviousStep, List.Transform(List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(PreviousStep), each Text.Contains(_, "price")), each {_, each Text.BetweenDelimiters(_, "(", ")")}))

If you also want them all converted to a number:

Table.TransformColumns(PreviousStep, List.Transform(List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(PreviousStep), each Text.Contains(_, "price")), each {_, each Number.From(Text.BetweenDelimiters(_, "(", ")")), type number}))
