Hi I've got some data as follows (in one column):
"third_party_funded": "Yes", "risk_score": 5.4, "tender_assurance_rating": "Amber/Green", "project_number": ["8675309", "771595", "107140"],...
It's comma delimited and in a later step I will be splitting each key value pair into columns however as you can see, there is a list in one of the KV pairs (Project Number), I would like to replace the commas in between the square brackets so that in my later step, they are not split.
Solved! Go to Solution.

let T=Text.BetweenDelimiters(_[Data], "[", "]") in Text.Replace( _[Data],T, Text.Replace(T,",","|" ))
