Excel formula to DAX / maybe other solution (?)

Hello,

 

I would like to create in PowerBI additional column which will be based on exisitng column and we would see here just text after special character. In my case it's "#".

 

For example

Column A: TEST #DONE

Column B (the new one): #DONE

 

In excel I used below formula:

=IFERROR(RIGHT(A2200;LEN(A2200)-FIND("#";A2200));"-")

 

Thanks for help!

Hi @PeterNowak ,

 

Create a calculated Column

 
 
Valuess =

var search = SEARCH("#",'Table'[Split],, LEN('Table'[Split]))
RETURN
RIGHT('Table'[Split],LEN('Table'[Split])- search)
