    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSkxKNjQyVtJRUorViVZKSU1D4gFpqDSIl56RiSoHFQDxsrJzLC0tkeRy8/INDQ3BPCgTJBcLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Req with Released TCs" = _t, #"Req with NOT Released TCs" = _t]),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each not List.Contains(Source[Req with NOT Released TCs], [Req with Released TCs]))
    in
        #"Added Custom"
