Hi All,
I am using Power Bi desktop. Can we sue DAX to split column?
I have a source file in excel. One of the column has similar information.
Column 1
Power Bi User Group Jul 6th
--

I want to separate date onto new column. I clicked on Transform. I duplicated current column 1 Copy. I splitted column , choose delimeter and space but it created 6 columns for each words. I want only two columns from above data as:
Column 1
Power Bi User Group
Column 2
Jul 6th
Please advise. Thanks
After the split, merge the first 4 columns together then Merge the last 2 columns together . You just select the columns and right-click and you'll find the option.
If the same pattern works for all rows then you're all set.
