Text.TrimEnd

Removes all specified trailing characters.

Syntax​

Text.TrimEnd(
    text as text,
    optional trim as any
) as text

Remarks​

Returns the result of removing all trailing characters from the specified text. By default, all the trailing whitespace characters are removed.

  • text: The text from which the trailing characters are to be removed.
  • trim: Overrides the whitespace characters that are trimmed by default. This parameter can either be a single character or a list of single characters. Each trailing trim operation stops when a non-trimmed character is encountered.

Examples​

Example #1​

Remove trailing whitespace from " a b c d ".

Text.TrimEnd("     a b c d    ")

Result:

"     a b c d"

Example #2​

Remove trailing zeroes from a text representation of a padded floating point number.

Text.TrimEnd("03.487700000", "0")

Result:

"03.4877"

Example #3​

Remove the trailing padding characters from a fixed-width account name.

let
    Source = #table(type table [Name = text, Account Name= text, Interest = number],
    {
        {"Bob", "US-847263****@", 2.8410},
        {"Leslie", "FR-4648****@**", 3.8392},
        {"Ringo", "DE-2046790@***", 12.6600}
    }),
    #"Trimmed Account" = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Account Name", each Text.TrimEnd(_, {"*", "@"})}})
in
    #"Trimmed Account"

Result:

#table(type table [Name = text, Account Name = text, Interest = number],
{
    {"Bob", "US-847263", 2.841},
    {"Leslie", "FR-4648", 3.8392},
    {"Ringo", "DE-2046790", 12.66}
