Given the following M code:
let Customer_Names = Table.FromRecords(
{
[Customer_Name = "Roger Kevan"],
[Customer_Name = "Quincy Tod"],
[Customer_Name = "Legend Vere"],
[Customer_Name = "Hendrix Triston"],
[Customer_Name = "Brycen Hallam"]
})
in
Customer_Names
Which yields a table with a few random names as in the image:
Could you please show me how to add a new column with the sorted name?
for example in the first cell in the Customer_Name column, for the name "Roger Kevan" - the resulting text in the new column should be: "aeegnorrrv"
My purpose is to detect names that contain misspellings or same names with different order of words.
let Customer_Names = Table.FromRecords(
{
[Customer_Name = "Roger Kevan"],
[Customer_Name = "Quincy Tod"],
[Customer_Name = "Legend Vere"],
[Customer_Name = "Hendrix Triston"],
[Customer_Name = "Brycen Hallam"]
}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Customer_Names, "Custom", each
let a = Text.Length([Customer_Name]),
b = {0..a-1},
c = Splitter.SplitTextByPositions(b)([Customer_Name]),
d = List.Difference(c, {" "}),
e = List.Sort(List.Transform(d, each Text.Lower(_))),
f = Text.Combine(e, "")
in f
)
in
#"Added Custom"
