Hi Learner86

I'm not sure I understand your request very well or not, but try something like this to add a new column with dax to your table:

If(left([Acquisition],2)="XR",left([Acquisition],6),blank())

Hi VahidDM

thank you very much for your proposed solution, unfortunately that does not help me. In the column I want to keep the part with XR...(for example XR3582) without the additional text like Station or Improvment.

Can you share a sample of your data in a table format?

Copy and past that to excel and then here. (Remove all sensitive data)

Appreciate your Kudos!!

Hi VahidDM

this is a sample of my data

Position

XR4667 Proof of Value

XR4675 Software

As I said I want to keep in an new column just the part with XR and the number like XR4667.

I want to have a new column like this:

XR4675

XR4683
