I have a table in Excel power query with text in a number of cells that I want to replace with new text.

E.g in the cells I might have 2 for x or save %. I want to replace the 2 for x with the word “multi-buy” or the save x% with “Price Reduction”. I want to find the cell value to replaced based on the middle text, so in this case look up “for” and then replace the cell text with “multi-buy”

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
