Ignore/remove text from column

JamesGordon — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 09:10:41 GMT

Hi,

I have a column of stock numbers that range from 10000000 to 80000000 however there is the odd entry that contains text. Id like to create a dax that would create a new column that only display the stock numbers and therefore ignores the text?

Screenshot below of result from current column

Thank you for your help!

To create a custom column as below.

Text.Select([Stock Number], {"0".."9"})

Anonymous is this using power query not DAX though?

I am trying to use DAX to solve this?

It's recommended to use Power query for column creatation. IF not possible then only go for dax.
