Thank you for the sample data. Note that it has a lot of extra spaces so the following code may need some adjustments once you cleaned the data up.

You cannot do that in DAX, but it is possible to do in Power Query. Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue. If you paste the data into a table in your post or use one of the file services it will be easier to work with.
