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.

Hi @Learner86

 Do you want something like this:

Hi @VahidDM,

Thank you very much!

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
XR4683 Digitalisation
Machine
Market

 

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:

Position
XR4667 
XR4675 
XR4683
