How to extract string from name and create product group

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 01:07:04 GMT

Hey All,
Need help creating dax formula or calculated column to extract product density. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Need to go from left product column to right density group:

Product	Density
A123 B1234 8Gbit 8 77/999 AE 1 AB	8Gbit
A123 B12 4Gbit 16 7/999 ABCDE 1 AB	4Gbit
A123 B1 2Gbit 16 77/999 AB 1 AB	2Gbit
A123 B12346 512Gbit 8 77/99 ABCDE	512Gbit
A123 B123 77/999 ABCDE 1TB	1TB

Thanks in advance!

Hi Anonymous

I would recommend extracting the string in Power Query instead, you can use BetweenDelimiters function:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Density", each if Text.Contains([Product], "TB") = true then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Product], " "," ", 3,0) else if Text.Contains([Product], "Gbit") = true then Text.BetweenDelimiters([Product], " "," ",1,0) else "")

This is based on the sample data that you have.

Hope this helps!
