using namespace System.Collections.Generic
$example = 9, 4, 3

[List[int]]::new( [int[]]$example )

This function works sort of like calling Regex.Split with this regex

\s+

let

I used pseudocode to shorten the example. The structure is good.

Using nested `let`

let
    Source1 =
        let 
            Workbook = File.Contents(...),
            Final    = Table.SelectColumns( ... )

	let
	Path_Xlsx = "c:\data\workbook.xlsx",
	Summary = [
	// [1] using "enter-data" saves a table as json like this
	b64_str = "i45WSkosUoqNBQA=",
	bytes = Binary.FromText( b64_str, BinaryEncoding.Base64),
	bytes_decompressed = Binary.Decompress( bytes, Compression.Deflate),
	final_json_str = Text.FromBinary( bytes_decompressed, TextEncoding.Utf8 ),

	// [2] converting some binary file to base64

	.synopsis
	Create a new user with a name. Any "blank" values will fallback with a default value

	.DESCRIPTION
	If you use ValidateIfNotSomething, invalid or missing values throws.

	- Sometimes you want the command that always works, with a fallback value
	- $null, empty string to count as blank
