Extracting unique values with a condition

Hi, I have a column with text that looks something like this: Fixed-Fixed-Postpaid-Fixed-OMB-OMB Is there a formula that will return only unique values in between the dashes (-)? Req...

Apologies, I was outside the office when I shared the solution.

Yes this is a calculated column but its seems that you have some blank cells. Just modify as follows.

NewColumn =
VAR String = TableName[ColumnName]
VAR Items =
    SUBSTITUTE ( String, "-", "|" )
VAR Length =
    COALESCE ( PATHLENGTH ( Items ), 1 )
VAR T1 =
    GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T2 =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Item", PATHITEM ( Items, [Value] ) )
VAR T3 =
    DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( T2, "@@Item", [@Item] ) )
RETURN
    CONCATENATEX ( T3, [@@Item], "-", [@@Item], ASC )
