Hi guys,

Any idea how I can wrap this function a “try” statement and if it gives an error then just throw the original value.

= Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Logistics Brief", "fxRemoveDuplicateString", each fxRemoveDuplicateString([Logistics Brief.Promo Details]))
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Try this:
Power Query:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Logistics Brief", "fxRemoveDuplicateString", 
                        each try fxRemoveDuplicateString([Logistics Brief.Promo Details]) otherwise [Logistics Brief.Promo Details])
