Replace (n-1) and (n-2) digit values to n digit value

Posted on by makabirarif 14

There is a column in which the value must be three digits. Sometimes it has a 1 or a 2 digit value, but in order to make it a 3 digit value, 0 (zero) needs be added at the beginning, like in the following example:

 

001001
2002
03003
Y10Y1
YZ0YZ
XYZXYZ

 

Please advise?

    New column = Table.AddColumn(#"Previous Step", "New Colum", each if Text.Length([Column1])=1 then "00"&[Column1] else if Text.Length([Column1])=2 then "0"&[Column1] else [Column1])
