I am using the M code below to search for column headers that have the word "Date" in them and change the column data type to date.

However, the keyword search is case sensitive. Is there a way to make this case insensitive? Thanks.

Power Query:
Change =  Table.TransformColumnTypes(RenameHeaders, List.Transform(List.FindText(Table.ColumnNames(RenameHeaders), "Date"), each {_, type date})),
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Power Query:
    DateColumns = List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(RenameHeaders), each Text.Contains(_, "Date", Comparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)),
    Change =  Table.TransformColumnTypes(RenameHeaders, List.Transform(DateColumns, each {_, type date}))
