I'm attempting to have Power Query parse a list of columns and if the column has a month name as a header, I'd like to have it multiply the values in that column by 1.1 (10% increase). Here's my best attempt but it's giving me an error.

Excel Formula:
= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Renamed Columns", each try Value.Is(Date.From(_), type date), each (_) * 1.1, Replacer.ReplaceValue, {_})

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    months = List.Transform({1..12}, each Date.MonthName(#date(2023,_,1))),
    tcn = Table.ColumnNames(Source),
    MonthCols = List.Select(tcn, each List.Contains(months,_)),
    TransformOps = List.Accumulate(MonthCols, {}, (s,c)=> s & {{c, each _*1.1}}),
    Result = Table.TransformColumns(Source, TransformOps)
in
    Result
